Summary

CHRISTMAS 1998

Belle Bailey spent her early years in and out of foster homes, never finding a family to love her. But when she walks into Tess McNulty’s house, her new foster mam opens her arms and heart to the young girl. Tess encourages Belle to write a letter to Santa Clause, and she only wants one thing – a best friend. The very next day, a new kid arrives at Tess’s door. Someone who will change Belle’s life forever.

CHRISTMAS 2015

Belle Bailey is now a foster parent herself. With her husband by her side, she has given many children a happier start in life. They’ve loved them all as if they were their own.

But then life throws several curveballs to Belle, and this Christmas she wishes she had never been born.

But what happens to a Christmas wish when an angel is listening…

Will Belle realise, before it's too late, that her life is the most wonderful life of all?

Full of Irish charm, magic, and the warmth of the festive season, this is an emotional, romantic, and heartwarming story that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.
