About this listen
Take a trip to the most magical city this Christmas with bestselling author Jo Bartlett.
Will their Christmas wish come true?
Libby Cooper hasn’t celebrated Christmas since the night her parents died in a terrible accident. She wants to forget that the season of goodwill even exists; but her grandmother has other ideas. It’s time for Libby to start living her life just as her parents would have wanted her to do.
First stop New York!
What better way to immerse herself in the celebrations, than working in her great aunt’s Christmas shop, just a few blocks from Central Park? Making new friends in the Big Apple is the easy bit, but leaving the past behind proves much harder than Libby imagined.
Long walks in gorgeous Central Park help, and here she meets Harry Stanwick, a Central Park Ranger. Harry seems to know instinctively when Libby wants to talk or when she just needs to sit quietly on their special bench with him by her side.
Slowly, Libby begins to feel some of the pain of her past slipping away. And as New York begins to work its magic and her friendship with Harry grows, so too do Libby’s feelings for him.
But can she ever be truly happy without the people who matter the most to her? Or can Harry convince Libby that she deserves her own Christmas miracle -and her chance of happiness – sitting with him on their bench in Central Park?
From Jo Bartlett, the bestselling author of The Cornish Midwives Series, perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Holly Martin and Christie Barlow.

I also liked that Libby left Canterbury in England to go and help her great aunt in the New York Christmas Shop near Central Park.
What I didn't like about this listen was the fact Liberty was very depressed throughout the whole book as she can't move forward past her parents being killed by a drink driver 2 years ago, I felt like it was constantly mentioned!
I literally cried at one point near the end. I am the type of person who hates crying as it gives me a banging headache, plus it's a book and not real but to evoke emotion from me actually means that it must be well written.
The only tears I like to cry are those of laughter and jubilation.
I just didn't think this book was my cup of tea ☕ and I absolutely LOVE the festive season. But saying that I do find the classic old Christmastime film "It's A Wonderful Life" thoroughly depressing, I watched it as a kid, a teenager and as an adult with my husband and we both hated it.
The narrator Emma Powell did her job very well voicing different characters with different accents.
I paid for this book but at least I bought it in the monthly sale. Unfortunately as This listen did make me tear up I cannot recommend it 🌠
