About the book
Renowned for her heartwarming depictions of family life, bestselling author Nancy Thayer takes readers on a journey to experience the snowy off-season of Nantucket in this emotionally fulfilling and highly enjoyable tale.
The holidays on this charming Massachusetts island are truly enchanting, with beloved traditions that are cherished by Nicole Somerset, a newcomer to Nantucket who is recently married to a dashing ex-lawyer. The couple’s home is filled with the delightful aromas of pine, warm spices, and freshly baked pie.
However, the cheery atmosphere is dampened by the arrival of Nicole’s cold stepdaughter, Kennedy, who seems to lack any holiday cheer. Determined to keep Nicole at a distance—or preferably, out of the picture altogether—Kennedy hatches a plan to undermine her stepmother’s festive preparations. Undeterred, Nicole is determined to protect her inaugural Christmas with her new spouse.
Nancy Thayer’s captivating narrative serves as a poignant reminder that miracles can happen during this season. As unexpected guests make their appearances and holiday spirit touches all, whether they are good or mischievous.
