'No-one does friendship better than Cathy' Karen Swan, author of THE CHRISTMAS POSTCARDS

In a picturesque town in Derbyshire, Merry has always wanted a family to spend Christmas with, and this year her dream comes true as she says 'I do' to father-of-two Cole. But as she juggles worries about her business, last-minute wedding planning and the two new children in her life, Merry is stretched to breaking point.

Meanwhile, only a few miles away, Emily is desperately waiting for the New Year to begin. Her father Ray's dementia is worsening, and she's struggling to care for him alone while holding down a job. When Ray moves into a residential home, she discovers a photograph in his belongings that has the potential to change everything .

As shocking secrets from Ray's past finally come to light, will this Christmas make or break Emily and Merry?

I get lost in these books. Cathy Bramley is one of my most favourite authors. The story is well sectioned so you know exactly which character is which and it makes listening a breeze.

Beautifully put together

Lovely story. Beautifully told. Loved the chat at the end. I wonder if there is going to be a following story? The letter at the end made me sad. How will it ever get to the person who needs it ?!!!!

We picked this title for a Christmas read in our book club, and it was fine for that.

Decent story but no characters had any edge whatsoever, so wasn't very realistic!
