Book Description
A SUGAR-PLUM ASSIGNMENT in a small town at Christmas brings Kelly Kirkland to Holiday House for the Christmas Carnival. It’s a dream come true, if only she can avoid Matt Lindig, the man whose betrayal broke her heart ten years ago. Single dad Matt, a staunch supporter of his town, can’t refuse the mayor when she asks him to keep an eye on the big-name journalist coming to write about their carnival. Someone has to be sure the review is positive and that the town’s problems are not revealed. By the time he learns the reporter is the one woman on earth who hates him, it’s too late to wiggle out of his commitment. Besides, whatever Kelly may think, he’s not the one who needs to be forgiven. As old secrets come to light, the path might open to a second chance at love, but only if both Matt and Kelly can trust enough to forgive.

An English Christmas
Author: John Julius Norwich
Publisher: John Murray
ISBN: 1473665949
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
'If I could work my will,' said Scrooge indignantly, 'Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.' This year go carol-singing in the Cotswolds with Laurie Lee or attend church with a grumpy Samuel Pepys. Make plum puddings for bemused French villagers with Elizabeth David; go present shopping with Virginia Woolf or eat far too much with Agatha Christie. Celebrate Christmas at Chatsworth, in the workhouse or marooned in the ice with Shackleton ... For forty-five years, the arrival of John Julius Norwich's latest Christmas Cracker became as essential a part of the Christmas experience as holly and mistletoe. In An English Christmas the late legendary popular historian gathered all the best writing about this strangest and most memorable time of year into one book and his brilliant eye for a story is evident on every page. Vividly evoking all the good things about the festive season, this unexpected anthology is just as entertaining about its darker aspects. Eight-year-old Princess Margaret's thank-you list jostles with moving letters home from the trenches. Sherlock Holmes solves his trickiest case. George Orwell writes about indigestion; Jane Austen about reluctant socialising and Thomas Hardy about the old folk belief that all animals kneel at midnight on 24 December. There are ghost stories, games and bizarre recipes. Diary-entries, recipes and letters sit alongside poems and short stories. An English Christmas could convert any Scrooge into an instant enthusiast.

Journeys to the Spiritual Lands
Author: Wallace W. Zane

ISBN: 0195351789
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Although much has been written on the Afro-Catholic syncretic religions of Vodou, Candomble, and Santeria, the Spiritual Baptists--an Afro-Caribbean religion based on Protestant Christianity--have received little attention. This work offers the first detailed examination of the Spiritual Baptists or "Converted". Based on 18 months of fieldwork on the Island of St. Vincent (where the religion arose) and among Vincentian immigrants in Brooklyn, Zane's analysis makes a contribution to the literature on African-American and African Diaspora religion and the anthropology of religion more generally.

Christmas with a Cowboy

Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
What do you get for the girl who has everything? A cowboy, of course. Avery McClain is looking forward to her first Christmas in Montana with her little girl. But as soon as she arrives, she's caught in an unexpected tug of war between two ranchers wanting to buy the land left to her by her favorite uncle. All she wants to do is make the holiday special for daughter. But instead, she's overwhelmed with attempts to pressure her into selling. And she's uncomfortably attracted to one of the men competing for her property. Judson Ford wants Avery McClain's land to expand his horse breeding operation. He didn't anticipate his attraction to her, or his admiration for her courage. And her little girl is so damn cute! Before he knows it, he's been swept up in her Christmas spirit. Suddenly, Avery and her daughter are filling all the empty spaces in his life. But then, Avery is offered a job opportunity that would mean she'd have to relocate. And Judson realizes that everything in him is pushing him to ask her to stay and make a lifeâ€"a familyâ€"with him. Unfortunately, someone else has other ideas. Praise for The Cowboys of Burton Spring: "The characters have great backstories and depth of personalities, determination, and strength. The storyline has its surprises and twists, as well as a few upheavals when the truth comes out and is misinterpreted. Loved the ending and the final truths that also came out. Well done."â€"Judy Gittleson Hendrickson, Goodreads review of COWBOY TO HER RESCUE "First and foremost, this is wonderful romance. The fact that it's set at Christmas time is an added bonus. Ms. Mantovani creates such warmth in her books and characters."â€"bestselling author Patricia Lewin on COWBOY UNDER THE MISTLETOE "It's been a while since I've read such a good book. Once I started, I couldn't stop reading. "â€"Amy Vida, Goodreads review of COWBOY ON HER PORCH "I truly enjoyed everything about this book…I read this story in one sittingâ€"it had some drama, a great romance, and a hot cowboy.
