Grace Flaherty is the owner of the Sugar Plum Bakery in
Christmas,
Colorado, known for her Sugar Plum Fairy Cakes and the
wishes that come
with them. She and her young two year old son Jack Jr. have
been praying every
day for the return of Jack who has been MIA for seventeen
months in
Afghanistan.
Just as Grace is ready to accept he isn't returning, a
miracle happens and
Jack is released and home a hero. Now Grace really has her
hands full
because her husband has lost his memory and doesn't remember
he has a
wife and son. Coming home to an overactive little "Houdini"
son and a wife
he can't remember, he has secrets to hide from his wife as
they strive to know
each other all over again. Matters are sometimes worse as
the good
intentioned towns people get involved. An old emotional
incident hovers over
Grace as she strives to recreate the love she and her
husband once shared as
his secret hinders the re-creating of their life as it was
before.
CHRISTMAS IN JULY was such an enjoyable book for me, and
certainly no surprise that it
was coming from this very gifted author. I have read many
of Debbie Mason's
stories and loved each and every one of them. Writing about
the every day
people and the love they share when a hiccup occurs, gives
us some of the
best reading around. This is book two in the Christmas
Colorado series. I can't
wait for the next story in this series. These are
definitely "good feeling" tales
to remember for a long time to come.
Grace Flaherty had given up hope of ever seeing her husband
again. After all, it'd been over a year since he went
missing in combat. So when he strides through the door of
her bakery in downtown Christmas one sunny afternoon, she
can hardly believe her eyes. But her happily-ever-after is
going to take some effort - because Jack has no memory of
his family.
All Jack Flaherty remembers about Christmas is that he
couldn't wait to leave town. Now he's a local hero with a
wife and son he doesn't know. Even as he struggles to
rekindle the romance with his wife, he knows in his heart
what he wants: a second chance at love.
