Mulberry Park Book 4

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.
