A sweet, heartwarming Christmas novella about second chances and finding the courage to choose the gift of joy.
Snow is falling in little village of Applemore and the air is full of the smell of gingerbread from the Harbour Cafe…
but owner Sarah Wilson wants to forget Christmas this year.
It’s been three years since her mum passed away - and she's thrown everything into running the bakery in her memory.
The little coffeeshop is sparkling with fairy lights, but this Christmas - with her brother escaping to Morocco and no plans of her own, she's planning to pretend the holiday isn't happening.
Then Jim Fletcher walks through the door...
The American professor is spending Christmas in Applemore, researching small-town revivals and running from his own ghosts. A simple cup of coffee turns into something unexpected - snowy beach walks, sharing spiced apple cider by the village Christmas tree, and facing up to the possibility of something more.
But Jim's research will end. He'll return to New England and Sarah will stay exactly where she's always been - won't she?
Sometimes it takes a stranger to help you see that honouring the past doesn't mean surrendering your future.
