About this ebook

Can memories of old restore a forgotten love?

Camden, Maine ~ Present Day

Spunky octogenarian Priscilla Martin is a woman with many Christmas secrets. When a beloved niece tempts her to bare her wounded soul, Priscilla must decide whether to share the secret of her sister’s demise—and the reason she abandoned the man she loved in favor of a loveless marriage.

Camden, Maine ~ December, 1957

The only person Priscilla loves more than Ed Colton is her younger sister, Hazel. But when Ed is drafted and Hazel runs away to New York to be with a man she believes will make her famous, Priscilla’s plans crumble around her. Ed’s silence and Hazel’s tragic return leads Priscilla to make a choice she will forever regret.

Can revisiting long-ago memories give Priscilla what she’s longed for all these years?

This is Book 4 in The Orchard House Bed and Breakfast Series, a contemporary twist on the well-loved classic, Little Women. Readers will fall in love with the Martin family—Maggie, Josie, Lizzie, Bronson, Amie, and their mother Hannah—each trying to find their own way in the world and each discovering that love, home, and hope are closer than they appear.

Ratings and reviews

Where Memories Await is a Christmas novella to accompany the Orchard House Bed & Breakfast series by Heidi Chiavaroli. This story gives us the touching backstory behind Aunt Pris’s frosty yet lovable personality. Through the other books in the series, we learned Priscilla Martin had a past she’d rather forget, a past that was painful and secret. But in this novella, we learn the secrets behind such a strong and enduring woman. The themes of hope and redemption are perfect for the holiday season, and this shorter-length story is perfect for a busy time of the year. But the length of the story doesn’t mean it isn’t full of depth and a perfect continuation of the Martin family’s story. The Orchard House Bed and Breakfast is a continuing series, so I would recommend reading from the beginning. If you are a fan of Little Women, do not miss this contemporary spin on the March family. I can’t wait to read Bronson’s story next! I was given a copy of this book by the author with no expectations of a positive review. All opinions are my own.
