Mulberry Park

Silver Bells by Fern Michaels For years, Amy's wondered what it would be like to leave her shallow Hollywood life and go home to Pennsylvania. This Christmas, she plans to find out-and her high-school boyfriend is ready to give her a welcome she won't forget. Dear Santa... by JoAnn Ross When a mystery author's SUV breaks down, lodge owner Gabriel O'Halloran and his five-year-old daughter rekindle her belief in passion, magic, and Christmas wishes. Christmas Past by Mary Burton After Nicole receives a very unwelcome Christmas gift-a letter that holds clues to an elusive killer's identity-she enlists the help of a homicide detective, and they embark on a trip that will take them both into the heart of danger and desire. A Mulberry Park Christmas by Judy Duarte Every Christmas, the folks living on Sugar Plum Lane pull out all the stops when decorating. After a bitter breakup, Alyssa's heart just isn't in it-but running into her first love fills her with memories of the tender Christmas kiss they once shared...

This Christmas, come home to Fairbrook, the setting for Judy Duarte's uplifting, heartwarming novels, where friendship, faith, and some extra-special providence will make it a holiday to remember. Fairbrook is a town tailor-made for Christmas, with beautiful old houses dotting quaintly named streets like Sugar Plum Lane and Nutcracker Court. But not everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive. Cash-strapped single mom Carly Westbrook worries about providing a merry Christmas for her boys. It doesn't help that they've been having run-ins with neighbor Max Tolliver, an aspiring novelist stricken with writer's block. Then there's Grant Barrows, a formerly wealthy businessman whose heart seems to have shrunk along with his bank balance. Some folks are still determined to make the season sparkle-like the Diamond Lils, a ladies' group that meets weekly to play poker and socialize. This year, they're looking to do some good deeds-and wealthy widow Lynette thinks that a little matchmaking between Grant and Carly would be a perfect place to start. Yet Christmas is a season for surprises. And sometimes, the gifts we never expected turn out to be the most precious of all.
