From Mary Kay Andrews, the New York Times bestselling author of
Hello, Summer, comes a novella celebrating the magic of Christmas and
second chances in The Santa Suit.
When newly-divorced Ivy Perkins buys an old farmhouse sight unseen, she
is definitely looking for a change in her life. The Four Roses, as the
farmhouse is called, is a labor of love--but Ivy didn't bargain on just
how much labor. The previous family left so much furniture and so much
junk, that it's a full-time job sorting through all of it.
At the top of a closet, Ivy finds an old Santa suit--beautifully made
and decades old. In the pocket of a suit she finds a note written in a
childish hand: it's from a little girl who has one Christmas wish, and
that is for her father to return home from the war. This discovery sets
Ivy off on a mission. Who wrote the note? Did the man ever come home?
What mysteries did the Rose family hold?
Ivy's quest brings her into the community, at a time when all she wanted
to do was be left alone and nurse her wounds. But the magic of Christmas
makes miracles happen, and Ivy just might find more than she ever
thought possible: a welcoming town, a family reunited, a mystery solved,
and a second chance at love.
