Imagine after 40 years of marriage, you discover that you aren't legally married. Well, in Covington, North Carolina, five couples find themselves in that situation. The pastor who married them was never ordained and the secret has been hidden in the church attic all these years. The new pastor has to break the news, and what a way to introduce himself to the congregation.

The ladies of Covington come to the rescue and set out to organize a Christmas Eve wedding ceremony for the couples. But time is critical and money is nonexistent. The church needs to be painted and the furnace is beyond repair. As the painting and repairs are underway, fresh flowers and then money are mysteriously being left at the church. As the day draws near, there's one unwilling bride who may or may not walk down the aisle. Will she be a runaway bride, or go through with it for the children's sake? Wait and see as the big day approaches.

A COVINGTON CHRISTMAS is another charming addition to Medlicott's Ladies of Covington series. It's a beautiful story that will warm your heart and nourish your soul. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
