Suddenly, everything about her loving family is drawn into question. And meeting these newfound sisters might be the only way to get answers.

Especially Ted Dixon, whose love she once scorned. But Sophia has paid the price for her youthful transgressions. The man she did marry was rich and powerful but abusive. Then he goes missing - and she soon learns that he died running from an FBI probe of his investment firm. Not only has he left Sophia penniless, he's left her to face all the townspeople he cheated. Sophia is reduced to looking for any kind of work to pay the bills and support her daughter. With no other options, she accepts a job as housekeeper for Ted, now a successful suspense writer. He can't turn his back on her, but he refuses to get emotionally involved. Will Christmas, the season of love and forgiveness, bring them another chance at happiness?

Great Read
Take Me Home For Christmas (Whiskey Creek, #5) was a great read by Brenda Novak. Everyone in Whiskey Creek remembers that Sophia was the town's mean girl. Especially Ted Dixon, who she left as a young girl for the man she married. Her husband was rich and abusive until the day he goes missing. She finds out that he died after running from the FBI. He cheated many people in Whiskey Creek and heh left her penniless. She winds up working for Ted to help support her daughter. I absolutely loved reading Ted and Sophia's story and her way of making things up tp the town people. I can't wait to read more by Brenda Novak.

Wonderful, emotional story
This is a complex and yet fascinating story of past love and the road not taken. It felt a little long to me, but had a great premise and a fantastic ending. Sophia and Ted's story was full of love and redemption.
