A Very Merry Christmas

A Very Merry Christmas

Previously published in Holiday Magic

From acclaimed author Cathy Lamb comes a tender and uplifting story of the challenges and surprises of family, belonging, loveâ€¦and Christmas.

Some people careen through life trailing chaos in their wake. Others get to pick up the pieces. Meredith Ghirlandaio is generally in the latter category, especially when it comes to her irresponsible sister, Leia. Leiaâ€™s latest move: abandoning her two children while she runs off to rediscover herself. Meredith immediately steps up, bringing rebellious Sarah and withdrawn Jacob back to her hometown of Telena, Montana, where she opens a B&B.

Despite the â€œMerry Meredithâ€ nickname she earns from her guests, sheâ€™s too waryâ€”and too busyâ€”to get involved with any man. Especially one like handsome, self-assured Logan Taylor. But Loganâ€™s not easy to shake, and makes it plain that heâ€™s drawn to everything about Meredithâ€”her tough talk and her cowboy hats, her softness and her strength.

Roped into chairing the Telena Christmas concert, Meredith brings townsfolk of all ages together to share stories, talents, and rehearsal potluck dinners. Little by little sheâ€™s opening up too. And in between navigating the lessons of the past and acknowledging her own hopes for holidays yet to come, sheâ€™s learning that all the gifts she really needs are right there, waitingâ€”if only sheâ€™ll claim them.
