About the book
In this charming holiday story by the bestselling author Nancy Thayer, a winter wedding takes place on Nantucket, bringing together family and friends for a joyful celebration.
With Christmas coming closer, Felicia comes back to her family's house on the island to tie the knot with her adventurous boyfriend, Archie. The setting is perfect for a fairy-tale wedding: snowy streets, glittering lights, and a stunning red and white dress. But this extravagant event is not what Felicia truly desires; it's her mother, Jilly, who has envisioned it. Jilly is concerned that Felicia's life with the daring Archie will be filled with extreme sports. She starts to think that their neighbor Steven Hardy could be a better match for her daughter and starts a secret plan to set them up.
As the wedding day approaches and Jilly's older daughter, Lauren, arrives with her lively kids, tensions rise within the family. With chaos looming over the Yuletide wedding, a surprising turn of events in Nancy Thayer's heartwarming story brings everyone back to the real meaning of the holidays.
