Publisher Description
Heiress Caroline Dixon has managed to alienate nearly everyone with her alcohol-fueled antics, which have also provided near-constant fodder for the poison-pen tabloids and their gossip-hungry readers. But like so many girls-behaving-badly, the twenty-six-year-old socialite gets her comeuppance, followed by a newfound desire to live a saner existence–or at least one more firmly rooted in the real world. As Caro tentatively begins atoning for past misdeeds, she reaches out to two wonderful people who years ago brought meaning to her life: her former nanny, Astrid Brevald, now living in Norway, and Arizona dude ranch owner Cyril Dale. While Astrid fondly remembers Caro as a sweet little girl, Cyril recalls how he and his late wife were quite taken with the quick-witted teenager Caro had become when she spent time at the Dales’ ranch as her father was dying. In a series of e-mail exchanges, Caro reveals the depth of her pain and the lengths she went to hide it. In turn, Astrid and Cyril share their own stories of challenging times and offer the unconditional support Caro has never known. The correspondence leads to the promise of a reunion, just in time for Christmas. But the holiday brings unexpected revelations that change the way everyone sees themselves and one another.

"Lorna has always been a favorite of mine. She has released this book just in time for a cute Seasonal read. This is a very sweet easy read that made me smile. Written in the form of emails between a number of characters we see as they all come together and cross paths in their lives. It is a very enjoyable weekend read."

" Holidays are over, but this was a good way to start off the year. "
— Marcia, 11/22/2013 -
" Meh. Not as good as her others. It's all written in letters, and although I loved that approach in The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie and Literary Society, it just didn't work well here - you feel like you're missing way too many details. It ended up being a sweet story but just not the best. "
— Melissa, 11/17/2013 -
" This was a very odd book. It's totally fragmented. It took me awhile just to figure out where the whole idea was headed. The ending was probably the best part of the whole book. "
— Patricia, 10/31/2013 -
" Cute, extremely quick read with a little bit of feel good thrown in. "
