ABOUT THE BOOK
When Madison McDowell returns from several years teaching overseas, she has high hopes of picking up where she left off at her family's Christmas tree farm in Oregon. But between damage from a recent wildfire and the neglect due to her sister Addie's unwillingness to invest, the farm is in sad shape. In fact, Addie is intent on selling the property. And to top it off, her former high school flame, the now-widowed Gavin Thompson, has plans to break Madison's heart again by turning his neighboring property into a dusty, noisy dirt bike track for his daughter.
With the odds stacked against her, Madison decides there's only one thing to do: double down on her dreams. It will take a ton of hard work--and some help from an unlikely ally--to save the farm she so dearly loves. But it may take a miracle to restore her relationship with her sister.

REVIEW
This is a novella, so a quick read. It was cute little story. I thought some of the conversations were a bit strange…lots of relationships were awkward and the sister acted like she was twelve (strange considering she supposed to be a divorced adult). I did like the main character’s relationship with the neighbor girl and how that developed. If you want a quick Christmas read this is a good one.
