Gingerbread Christmas

In A Gingerbread Christmas, high-powered Art Director Liza Morgan is used to managing the impossible for her flamboyant boss, Serge, at New York City's premier wedding boutique, Vows. When a high-maintenance celebrity demands a lavish "e;North Pole"e; wedding in just a few weeks, Liza suggests the one place that can deliver true holiday magic: her hometown of Silver Falls, Pennsylvania. Famous for The World Famous Swete Gingerbread Factory, the quaint town is the perfect backdrop for a fairytale ceremony. Returning home for the first time in years, Liza must face the memories of her late parents and the man she left behind: Stephen Swete. Now a widower and a devoted father to two young daughters, Stephen is the engineering mind behind the town's legendary life-sized gingerbread house. While he initially clashes with Liza over her plan to turn the town square into a Hollywood spectacle, a creative compromise leads to the construction of a permanent community gazebo dressed in gingerbread tiles. As Liza and Stephen rekindle their high school romance over mugs of hot chocolate and secret-recipe gingerbread, the pressures of the big-city wedding industry threaten to boil over. When a sudden disaster strikes the new gazebo, it is up to the community and the enduring bond between old flames to save the holiday. This heartwarming tale of second chances and small-town charm explores how returning to one's roots can lead to a future more delicious than any gingerbread treat. Mary Oldham delivers a festive romance that proves the best Christmas gifts aren t found under a tree, but in the hearts of those we love.
