About this ebook
This Christmas, the greatest gifts can't be found beneath a tree. . .
Eight-year-old Janey Sullivan has had a difficult year, between losing her mother and adjusting to life with her guardian, Brian Duncan. But with the holidays approaching, her one Christmas wish is to find the perfect gift for Brian--if she can learn to trust him first.
Reeling from the loss of his soul mate, Brian is determined to give her daughter, Janey, an extraordinary Christmas. But he struggles to read her irregular moods, and when he catches her in a lie, he begins to doubt the future of their new little family. Yet with the help of their friends in Linden Corners, and a bit of Christmas magic riding on the wind, they may be able to preserve Janey's mother's traditions, perhaps even start some new ones--and discover that the life they hadn't planned on can still bring the happiness they've always wished for.
"This gentle read is big on heart." --Library Journal
"A wonderful Christmas story of moving on beyond grief and loss." --RT Book Reviews, 4 1/2 Stars

Love the story ... the middle of a trilogy .... it stands alone ... but I am sure that you well want to know how Brian and Janet's story started and how it ends. Well written hard to put down!
