Publisher Description

#1 Amazon Family Saga and Series Romance bestseller.

Book One in the Seasons of The Heart series, with recurring characters who also appear in the #1 Amazon novella Here in My Heart, the heartwarming beginning to the Echoes of the Heart series.

A childhood spent on the streets leaves Mallory Phillips longing for a normal life and a perfect Christmas. Now an elementary school nurse in Chandlerville, Georgia, Mallory’s dream to blend into the picturesque community isn’t working out. She’s once more living a loner’s existence. Then an emotionally fragile seven-year-old appears in her living room in the middle of the night, and Mallory’s isolated world is turned upside down.

This is Polly Lombard’s first Christmas without her mother, and she won’t utter a word to anyone—except Mallory. She believes Mallory holds the key to helping her father overcome his sadness. Despite Pete Lombard’s lingering grief over his wife’s death and concern for his daughter, his resistance to their mysterious neighbor crumbles as he spends more time with Mallory and falls for her amazing heart.

But when her past returns haunt her, is Mallory strong enough to keep the Lombard family in her life? And can the spirit of Christmas heal these broken souls and bring them all the joyous, loving holiday they deserve?

Includes book club discussion questions.

— Dee, 1/7/2014
Overall Performance:
" This book was just okay for me. It was rather ordinary and predictable in my opinion. I was also quite frustrated with just how fast Pete and Polly moved on from their beloved Emma. If you are looking for a fairytale then maybe this is your book but, for me, it was just too wrapped up perfect. "
— Paula, 12/19/2013
