It’s Christmas in the small town of Silver Springs, which is bursting with holiday spirit.

The downtown shops boast twinkling lights, and the town square features an enormous Christmas tree. Every Christmas Eve for the past fifty years, Ruby Harris, the owner of the historic B&B, The Christmas House, has opened her doors to strangers in need, showing them the compassion once denied to her. When Ruby invites her family home for the holidays, including her two adult grandchildren, Charlotte and Olivia, she hopes they will be able to put the past behind them.

However, her plans for reconciliation implode as the women unravel secrets from the past that force them to confront the impact they’ve had on their dysfunctional family. As Charlotte grows closer to Wyatt Holt, the neighbor next door and a friend from the past, old memories resurface that the women would rather forget. They’re reminded of a man they want to forget. As the clock inches closer to the New Year, can the magic of the season bring the family closer? Or will a surprise guest threaten their tentative truce and test newly formed bonds?

This light-hearted Christmas tale draws inspiration from Victoria James’s own historical fixer-upper, offering plenty of warmth and holiday cheer.

Booklist…
“Grace may lead them home, but will it soften two hearts hardened by heartbreak? … Charlotte Harris had a tumultuous childhood marked by an alcoholic mother and a father who abandoned the family when she was a preteen. When a boy Charlotte leaned on also disappeared, it confirmed Charlotte’s fears of abandonment. …. It is either coincidence or providence that brings Wyatt Holt back into Charlotte’s life as Ruby’s next-door neighbor. But Wyatt is just as traumatized from his past, and it will take the magic of Christmas for the two to see a future together. As readers root for Charlotte and Wyatt, they also get a glimpse into Grandma Ruby’s past and how the Christmas House came to be. Weaving trauma and heartache with love and resilience, New York Times bestselling author James has written a genuine contemporary romance worthy of a Hallmark adaptation.“
