HOLIDAY is an amazing holiday romance by contemporary romance
master, Debbie Macomber!
Debbie Macomber brings us to the Alaskan wilderness for a
magical Christmas tale about finding love where it’s least
expected.
Before beginning her dream job as sous chef in one of
Seattle’s hottest new restaurants, Josie Avery takes a
summer position cooking at a lakeside lodge in the remote
Alaskan town of Ponder. Josie falls for the rustic charms of
the local community—including Jack Corcoran, the crotchety
keeper of Ponder’s famed sourdough starter, and, in
particular, the quiet and intense Palmer Saxon, a famed
master swordsmith.
Josie and Palmer become close during the long Alaskan summer
days, but Josie knows that, come fall, she’ll be returning
to reality and the career she’s worked so hard for. Palmer,
on the other hand, would like nothing better than to make
Josie his wife and to keep her in Ponder. But Josie can’t
imagine abandoning her mother back in the Emerald City and
sacrificing her career to stay in this isolated town—not
even for a man she’s quickly coming to love.
Fate has other plans. Josie misses the last boat out of town
before winter sets in, stranding her in Ponder and putting
her dream job at risk. As the holidays approach, Josie and
Palmer must grapple with the complications that arise when
dreams confront reality, and the Christmas magic that can
happen when they put their faith in love.
Debbie Macomber is at her best in this beautiful holiday
story about the far journeys we travel to find a place to
call home.
