Publisher's Synopsis
Miriam could use a Christmas miracle.
But she doesn't feel she deserves it.
Not after giving up her baby for adoption to her brother while in prison.
But now her baby's parents are dead. And she and her child's uncle, Duncan, are forced to work together to help their orphaned niece get through Christmas.
Neither feels capable but both have hearts full of love for her.
Miriam has never completely gotten over Duncan. They met at their respective siblings' wedding. They both thought something magical was growing between them.
They parted ways, promising, needing to keep in touch.
Then Miriam's life imploded and shame kept her away.
Now, as joint guardians of their niece, the only thing they can agree on is trying to find out what is best for Celia. Neither feels capable but as they work together the old attraction ignites.
Can their changing relationship survive Christmas and the dark secret Miriam harbors? A secret that could drive Miriam away from Duncan, Celia, and This Place.
If you like Christmas reunions, romantic sleigh rides, and stories about second chances, you'll love Carolyne Aarsen's story of loss and redemption and Christmas wonder.
