This is yet an other good book by Melody Carlson. I truly love her writing, but the last 2 books of hers that I have read, have not been that great. This one isn't GREAT but it isn't BAD. I just don't think I will remember the details to this Christmas book like I will her Christmas at Harringtons. I read that book last year and I can still tell you about it. I really enjoyed it and tell everyone to read it. Now this one I like, but not sure that I will tell everyone to read it now that I have. I have also read other Holiday books this year too, so that could be why I did not fall in love with this book. I hope you don't take my word for it and read it for your self and tell me if I was wrong.Blurb

The empty Barton Building has finally sold-- but not to the right person, according to Councilman Snider. He is successful in stirring up the townspeople and turning them against the new owner, Matilda Honeycutt. This older woman with scraggly gray hair and a different fashion sense doesn’t fit into the Parrish Springs tradition. The town is curious and yet afraid of her at the same time.
