Snow Place Like Home

A Joy-Filled Christmas

On a rare trip home for the holidays, Ella Wilson may finally uncover the secret to a joy-filled future by reconnecting with her past.

After nearly a decade of avoiding home and the holiday season, Ella is forced to confront her painful memories: the loss of her mother two decades ago, her fiancé’s recent abandonment, and the recent loss of her job as an art curator. With nowhere else to turn, she finds herself back in Bellepoint, Pennsylvania, roped into planning the town’s Christmas tree auction—alongside her first love, Seth Hamil.

For Seth, home has always been where the heart is, and that heart belongs to Bellepoint. He’s spent the past year channeling his grief after losing his wife into his work as a music teacher, and he’s dedicated to keeping her memory alive through the church fundraiser she envisioned to support local kids. Ella’s big-city ideas threaten to overshadow his late wife’s vision, but Seth isn’t willing to let that happen without a fight.

Determined to find common ground, Ella and Seth strike a deal: she can bring her creative flair to the auction if he can show her that Christmas is about more than just decorations. As they work together, old sparks reignite, and they begin to wonder if fate has brought them together for a fresh start—and if Christmas wishes really can come true.

A heartwarming romantic holiday novel perfect for fans of Nancy Naigle and Brenda Jackson.
