Laurence Subelka II

Terri Steele has waited her whole life for high school. She wants what every teenager wants: new friends, a beautiful dress, a date to prom and the chance to be seen for exactly who she is. Her mother, Janice, has spent Terri’s whole life helping her believe the world can make room for her. Now they must discover what it means to let go, grow up and step into a new day.

After the death of her husband, Annie Willows returns to her hometown to become deputy sheriff. Though determined not to stay, a mysterious crime and the town’s warmth draw her back to what really matters—family, love and the spirit of Christmas.
