What to expect
What will happen when a tropical escape from holiday blues turns into a snowy wonderland filled with joy and cheer?
Carol Langstrom hates Christmas. Growing up in a dysfunctional home, with a birthday on December 25 and too many dashed childhood expectations, she would rather avoid the holiday season. And working in the design industry where she manages seasonal decor for wealthy, entitled clients certainly hasn't helped!
So, this year her goal is to flee to the Bahamas—by herself—bah humbug! But bad weather and God's radically different plan redirect her flight to blustery Michigan, where she gets stuck on her aunt's farm and discovers a different kind of Christmas—one wrapped in love, family, and holiday spirit.
"Carlson's gentle humor and quirky, lovable characters have more than enough charm to propel the plot to its feel-good conclusion. Readers won't be able to resist this."—Publishers Weekly
