Christmas On Nutcracker Court(2011)

Debbie MacomberJudy DuarteCathy Lamb

This Christmas, come home to Fairbrook, the setting for Judy Duarte's uplifting, heartwarming novels, where friendship, faith-and some extra-special providence-will make it a holiday to remember . . . Fairbrook is a town tailor-made for Christmas, with beautiful old houses dotting quaintly named streets like Sugar Plum Lane and Nutcracker Court. But not everyone is eager for the holidays to arrive. Cash-strapped single mom Carly Westbrook worries about providing a merry Christmas for her boys. It doesn't help that they've been having run-ins with neighbor Max Tolliver, an aspiring novelist stricken with writer's block. Then there's Grant Barrows, a formerly wealthy businessman whose heart seems to have shrunk along with his bank balance. Some folks are still determined to make the season sparkle. Like The Diamond Lils, a ladies group who meet weekly to play poker and socialize. This year, they're looking to do some good deeds-and wealthy widow Lynette thinks that a little matchmaking between Grant and Carly would be a perfect place to start. Yet Christmas is a season for surprises. And sometimes, the gifts we never expected turn out to be the most precious of all . . . Praise for Mulberry Park "Tender and touching . . . this novel will stay with you long after you have read the last page". -Dorothy Garlock "An uplifting story about one little girl's unflinching faith and how she extends an open and loving hand to the broken people around her, bringing them close to each other". -Cathy Lamb, author of Henry's Sisters
