She lost her husband years ago. Now, she may lose the one person—and the one place—that still holds his memory.
Amelia Hennipen has spent years quietly mourning her husband, Simon, while doing her duty, as she sees it. But grief doesn’t offer rest—not when the past lingers in every room of Hennipen House, and not while caring for Simon’s aging grandmother, Henny, whose mind is slowly slipping away.
This Thanksgiving, new neighbors, Nathan Shaw and his young nephew, bring fresh laughter and the warm aromas of a holiday meal back into the house. For the first time in years, Hennipen House feels alive. Plans for a memorable Christmas are underway… until Henny’s daughter, Lisa, delivers news that will break the promises she made to Henny, and change everything.
She intends to change Henny's current living arrangements.
What is best for Henny? Amelia doesn’t know for sure, but she does know this will break the promise they made to Henny. Amelia must decide: will she walk away from the home and the challenge of the increasingly difficult obligations to Henny, the woman who is more like her mother than her own?
Or will she fight for one more Christmas at Hennipen House, and maybe even a chance at more to come?
A heartwarming holiday novella about love, the memories we cherish, difficult decisions, and the strength it takes to choose one’s path.
Genre: General Fiction
