"Patti Callahan Henry is quickly becoming one of my favorites." --Debbie Macomber
Just in time for Christmas, escape with a perfect love song, a perfect love story, and a perfect dose of holiday magic from the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea and Once Upon a Wardrobe.
Brothers Jimmy and Jack Sullivan live a nomadic life doing what they love: touring with their band, The Unknown Souls. But Jack's recent engagement to Kara has everyone looking forward to a Christmas destination wedding in Ireland.
Unlike his brother, Jimmy never expected to fall in love. But he feels a sense of peace and happiness whenever he's around Kara's best friend, Charlotte--which has him wondering what he's missing. Over Thanksgiving, Jimmy and Charlotte write a song while sitting together on the back porch. When the band sings it at a Christmas concert the next night, Jimmy insists it's the perfect love song--but a manager for another famous duo is adamant that it's the perfect Christmas song. Before Jimmy knows what's happening, he's on tour with the hottest country band around and suddenly everyone knows his name.
But fame isn't all it's cracked up to be, and Jimmy finds himself far away from those he loves--especially Charlotte. Only a Christmas miracle--or two--will be able to lead Jimmy back to Ireland, to his brother, and to love.
The Perfect Love Song is just the escape you need this holiday season to remind you about the power of love and the power of holiday magic. Included in this edition are discussion questions for book clubs, Patti's family shortbread recipe, instructions for Charlotte's Southern Garland, and the Legend of the Claddagh Ring.
