Adjusting to her recent divorce, she’s ready to spend some time getting back on her feet amidst the glorious snow-dusted countryside. Yet, life in Middledip is far from straightforward. Coming to the aid of her sister, Rea, as she navigates her own troubles, Laurel barely has a moment to think about where her own life is going.

Admittedly, this isn't exactly the relaxing holiday Leah Beaumont was hoping for - but it's the one she's got. With her sister Michele's family falling apart at the seams, it's up to Leah to pick up the pieces and try to hold them all together.

The last thing she needs is another project - but when her hometown's annual event needs some fresh festive inspiration, Merry can't resist.

Never read sue moor Croft before but will definitely do so again
Liked this book a lot. It was a sweet and easy listen that might not sound exciting but it was a charming story which made you want to keep listening and routing for the characters. A heart warming Christmas story and a great authors note which helped tie off the story. It also made me want to wear a hat.

Loved it.
Really enjoyed this book. Started on December 1st which was great so many 'christmas' books have a little Christmas in and this felt Christmassy enough. Loved the story and Ava's character and all of the others. Liked how it ended and the sensitivity around Wendy's condition. Will recommend

Too miserable
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
People who like girly romance and don't mind illness all through it
Would you be willing to try another book from Sue Moorcroft? Why or why not?
I would try but would read the reviews first. The main story was fine although the heroine rather wet.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
It was fine.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Very much anger that authors feel a compulsion these days to have terminal illness in all their books. I want to escape that, not have to listen to it !
Any additional comments?
Less illness in future books.

Entertaining & with a strong educational message
Narrator too rushed in places. Odd inflections in phrases, & odd pronunciations. Story well researched & pleasingly readable. Good yarn but also educational for not only for victims of abuse but also for those kindly folk affected by the PTS experienced by the victim - & the victim's hypersensitivity. Jolly good read. Shame about the narration.
