    About this audiobook

    "Major’s charming small town is packed with salt-of-the-earth people readers will embrace, and each sister’s journey is beautifully imagined. Readers will eagerly await their next visit to this idyllic community."—Publishers Weekly

    This Christmas the Carlyle sisters will rediscover the gift of family

    For some families, a Christmas reunion is like a feel-good movie. For Beth Carlyle, it might be more of a disaster epic. Her ex-husband’s new girlfriend is already pregnant. Her self-absorbed, bestselling author mother recently suffered a stroke and has summoned Beth’s sisters, Freya and Trinity—neither of whom even seem to like Beth very much—back to Magnolia. Beth’s so lonely and stressed that she spills her guts to a stranger, wondering why the handsome newcomer affects her so deeply. Reality TV star Freya deliberately forged a career that would upset her mother, who’s always been as brilliant as the sun…and just as distant. Now a handsome literary agent is making Freya dream of a different life. As for Trinity, she just wants to start over after leaving an abusive relationship and make a future for her and her baby.

    It’ll be a Christmas like no other in Magnolia. But the Carlyle sisters might find they have more in common than their shared past—and that the holidays are made for second chances.

    Includes a bonus holiday novella set in Magnolia!

      After their mother's stroke, sisters Beth, Freya, and Trinity reunite in the small town of Magnolia. Can they heal the wounds of the past—and find love in the process?

      This book is more women's fiction than romance, addressing some serious subjects. Still, the tone is on the lighter side, with each of the sisters blossoming and learning to forgive.

      Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
