Book Description
Will their Christmas wishes come true? Find out in this heartwarming collection from four quintessential queens of romance! The Forgetful Bride - Debbie Macomber Caitlin Marshall hadn’t seen Joe Rockwell in almost twenty years. He was now a successful Seattle contractor, who happened to be renovating the office where Cait worked as a stockbroker. But one thing hadn’t changed — Joe was still a terrible tease, telling everyone he and Cait were husband and wife! Oh, sure, they’d been ‘married’ in a pretend ceremony when she was eight, but now Joe wanted to make their ‘marriage’ real! A Little Christmas Spirit - Sheila Roberts Single mum Lexie Bell hopes to make this first Christmas in their new home special for her six-year-old son. Festive lights and homemade fudge, check. Friendly neighbours? Uh, no. The reclusive widower next door is more grinchy than nice but maybe he just needs a reminder of what matters most? At least sharing some holiday cheer with him will distract her from her own lack of romance… Stanley Mann lost his Christmas spirit when he lost his wife. Now she’s showing up in his dreams and telling him it’s time to ditch his scroogey attitude! And he can start by being a little more neighbourly to the single mum next door. How will it all end? Merrily, of course. A certain Christmas ghost is going to make sure of that! A Christmas Blessing - Sherryl Woods Widowed Jessie Adams was about to give birth, and she needed help — fast! Unfortunately, the closest ranch in her small Texas town belonged to her late husband’s brother, Luke, who didn’t know a thing about delivering babies. And though this charismatic rancher was her only hope, he was the last person Jessie wanted to be stranded with in her time of need. Christmas In Snowflake Canyon - RaeAnne Thayne Genevieve Beaumont has everything money can buy. But when she discovers her fiancé has been two-timing her, she's left with two choices: marry the philanderer to please her controlling father or be disinherited! Thankfully, salvation appears in the most unlikely of prospects: Dylan Caine, a sexy, wounded war vet whose life is as messy as hers. The last thing Dylan needs is a spoiled socialite learning about the real world for the first time. True, she may have unexpected depths and beauty to match. But he knows he could never be the man she needs…and she knows he could never be the man she thinks she wants. So why are they each hoping that a Christmas miracle will prove them both wrong?

River Teeth
Author: David James Duncan
Publisher: Dial Press
ISBN: 0440336511
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
In his passionate, luminous novels, David James Duncan has won the devotion of countless critics and readers, earning comparisons to Harper Lee, Tom Robbins, and J.D. Salinger, to name just a few. Now Duncan distills his remarkable powers of observation into this unique collection of short stories and essays. At the heart of Duncan's tales are characters undergoing the complex and violent process of transformation, with results both painful and wondrous. Equally affecting are his nonfiction reminiscences, the "river teeth" of the title. He likens his memories to the remains of old-growth trees that fall into Northwestern rivers and are sculpted by time and water. These experiences—shaped by his own river of time—are related with the art and grace of a master storyteller. In River Teeth, a uniquely gifted American writer blends two forms, taking us into the rivers of truth and make-believe, and all that lies in between.

When Betty MacDonald married a marine and moved to a small chicken farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, she was largely unprepared for the rigors of life in the wild.

A beloved literary treasure for more than half a century, Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I is a heartwarming and uproarious account of adventure and survival on an American frontier.
