Blurb
Sami Burke loves all things Christmas—the music, the children’s gift-drive, the parade, the program at her church, and the decorations. She especially loves the thought of winning the Christmas trophy for the Best Home Christmas Display in Mercy Ridge. This could be her year to win, if only she can come up with an idea better than Caroline Sauer, the reigning queen of yard decorations for three years running.
Wayne, Caroline’s husband, isn’t sure how to handle himself when Caroline decides to go to Spokane for several days to shop for her display materials. He can’t cook and ends up eating all his meals at Sami’s diner. When he realizes he doesn’t miss his wife as much as he probably should, he starts a journey of self-discovery and a second chance at love.
Review
Sami loves Christmas, owns the Memories Diner, and she’s a down home country type of gal. Friends with Wayne since they were just kids, she never knew he liked more than just her cooking, especially her cookies. When his wife, Caroline, goes out of town for a few days, he and Sami gets closer but then Caroline drops a bombshell on him. She’s been hiding a few things from him and everything comes to a head in the Christmas season.
This is a heartwarming tale about finding love after love and working through mistakes to come out happier in the end. Great read with a great message: you’re never too old to find love and forgiveness is key.
