Author: Sharon Sobel
Publisher: Bell Bridge Books
ISBN: 1611949025
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Three generations, three holiday miracles...one Christmas cameo--the ultimate gift of love. Holy Hill, the splendid estate of the Earls of Arlington, is known throughout the countryside for its lavish holiday celebrations...and setting the stage for unlikely lovers to find their own Christmas miracle. Linking them all together is that first gift of a delicate cameo... Lady Rose Arlington isn't happy that her father is arranging a marriage for her to a virtual stranger. Especially since it isn't her intended, Lord Gilderson, who steals her heart, but his younger, artistic cousin, Maxwell Roxbury. Years later, Lady Rose's niece Lysandra finds herself alone for the holidays, awaiting the arrival of Stewart Roxbury, the new heir to Holy Hill. She's lost everything--her family and now, her home. Little does she guess she'll soon find love. Joseph Roxbury, Lord Gilderson, has come to Holy Hill, desperate to convince artist Maxwell James to illustrate his new book. But when he discovers that Maxwell is actually Lysandra and Stewart's daughter, Rosetta, he needs her for totally different reasons... Three generations, three holiday miracles...one Christmas cameo--the ultimate gift of love. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Sharon Sobel is the author of eight historical and two contemporary romance novels, and served as Secretary and Chapter Liaison of Romance Writers of America. She has a PhD in English Language and Literature from Brandeis University and is an English professor at a Connecticut college, where she co-chaired the Connecticut Writers' Conference for five years. An eighteenth-century New England farmhouse, where Sharon and her husband raised their three children, has provided inspiration for either the period or the setting for all of her books.

Book Description
The inheritance of an antique cameo brooch, the discovery of her great grandmothers memoirs, and a time-capsule filled with antique furnishings all conspire to change Grace Winthrops life. Haunting secrets and a bittersweet love story were destined to spend eternity inside the memoirs. Grace breathes life back into them with her book, The Cameo.

There were contrasts: great wealth, abject poverty, Saratoga horse racing, child labor, the Womens Suffrage Movement, and social mores to cover all that was offensive. World War I took the world by surprise, ushering in a time of sorrow and change. The human spirit survives while the ever present cameo symbolizes the love between Sofia and Billy.

A Christmas Story
Author: Jean Shepherd
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307768732
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
A beloved, bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana—the book that inspired the equally classic Yuletide film and the live musical on Fox. The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family’s typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. This edition of A Christmas Story gathers together in one hilarious volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. Here is young Ralphie Parker’s shocking discovery that his decoder ring is really a device to promote Ovaltine; his mother and father’s pitched battle over the fate of a lascivious leg lamp; the unleashed and unnerving savagery of Ralphie’s duel in the show with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill; and, most crucially, Ralphie’s unstoppable campaign to get Santa—or anyone else—to give him a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle. Who cares that the whole adult world is telling him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”? The pieces that comprise A Christmas Story, previously published in the larger collections In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories, coalesce in a magical fashion to become an irresistible piece of Americana, quite the equal of the film in its ability to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.

Pages : 336
Book Description
Zac knows that if he follows his heart he’ll win back the love of his life—but if Lucy’s memory returns, his would-be bride might say goodbye forever. Now a Hallmark Original movie! She only remembers loving him. But he can’t forget the way she left. Lucy Lovett can’t remember the last seven months of her life. She doesn’t remember leaving her fiancé Zac Callahan weeks before their wedding or moving to Portland, Maine. And she sure doesn’t remember getting engaged to another man. All she remembers is loving Zac more than life itself. Zac was just beginning to get his life back on track after Lucy left him with no explanation. And now she’s back—vulnerable, homeless, and still in love with him. Has he been given a second chance with the only woman who stirs his passion and haunts his dreams? Lucy knows she must unlock those missing months and discover why she threw everything away. “I’ve been a longtime fan of Denise Hunter’s, and The Goodbye Bride has everything I’ve come to love about her romances: a plucky heroine with lots of backstory, a yummy hero, and a terrific setting. Highly recommended!” —Colleen Coble USA TODAY bestselling author of the Lavender Tides and Hope Beach series “Can romance be any more complicated than a bride who doesn’t remember running away from her groom? Denise Hunter’s take on a woman’s attempt to find her way back to happily ever after again is sweetly endearing. Readers will keep turning pages, wanting to know how true love ever went so wrong . . . and if The Goodbye Bride gets her chance to say “I do.” —Beth K. Vogt, 2015 RITA® Finalist and author of Crazy Little Thing Called Love “Denise Hunter has done it once again, placing herself solidly on my must-read list!

The clever plot kept me up way past my bedtime—and happy to be so!” —Deborah Raney, award-winning author of the Chicory Inn Novels series “The Goodbye Bride highlights the abandonment that so many have experienced. More importantly, within the context of a wonderful Summer Harbor romance, the author deftly illustrates that there is One who will never abandon us, and when we trust Him, we can in turn trust the people He places in our lives. All this packaged inside one heart-stopping, page-turning romance that will leave the pickiest romance reader delighted and asking for just a few more pages.” —Cara C.
