Book Summary
The
annual Sweet Water, Georgia, Christmas parade is nearing but relationships are
fractured on Wild Rose Lane. Antique dealer Cheryl Calloway's holiday spirit
has tanked. It's been a horrible year with her divorce, her ex marrying younger
and perkier Miriam across the street, and Mama moving into Cheryl's Victorian
cottage with her Amazon parrot right before Thanksgiving. A party girl in her
eighties, Mama smokes up a storm, likes her nightly vodka, has a hankering for
men, and now a wingman named Nigel. If that isn't enough, the Historical
Society wants Cheryl to clean up all the projects on her porch waiting to go to
Spivey's Antique Mall for their Christmas Open House. Her desire to work her
booth is as dead as her marriage. Miriam, President of the Historical Society,
chastises her, "If it ain't pretty don't put it on the porch." Then
there's Alice, her strange neighbor with the six-foot fluorescent light bulb
cross nailed to the huge Magnolia tree in the middle of her rose garden. Alice
watches all the neighbors too closely. Just when Cheryl thinks things can't get
worse, an incident shakes her to the core, and a mystery follows revealing
family secrets long forgotten. Cheryl wants to believe in miracles and love
again, and Dr. James may just be the man of her dreams as he helps her and Mama
sort things out.
Filled
with quirky characters, mystery, family secrets, and sweet love, all set in a
hot Georgia small town.
