Home for the Holidays

by Rebecca Kelly

Book Overview

Once readers visit the charming village of Acorn Hill, they'll never want to leave. Three sisters -- Louise, a widow from Philadelphia; Alice, an unmarried nurse who lived with her father; and Jane, a divorced chef from San Francisco -- reunite in the sleepy town after their father's death and turn the family home into a charming bed-and-breakfast. Here the sisters rekindle old memories, rediscover their childhood bonds, revel in the blessings of friendship, and meet fascinating guests along the way. "Home for the Holidays", a new Christmas instalment in the best-selling series (over a million copies sold), takes readers back to Acorn Hill and the characters they have grown to love. The Christmas spirit is settling over Acorn Hill, and the town is gearing up for a holiday house tour to showcase Acorn Hill's finest homes all decked out in wreathes and bows. But an unpleasant group of tourists is doing anything but making the season bright, and a stranded group of travellers shows up at the inn on Christmas Eve, seeking shelter from the storm and throwing off the sisters' plans for a quiet Christmas together. Through it all, the Howard sisters show their special blend of hospitality with their guests, who discover the importance of family and friendship -- and the true meaning of Christmas.

Great Holiday Spirit

I love holiday book and have a large collection. Grace Chapel book are just on the edge of being a lot of religion, but they don't cross the line. I find them to be just right. They have wonderful local color, great characters, lots of love, and you will have a hard to laying it down each day. The descriptions are wonderful and they seem well researched.

Great book

I purchased this book for my mom and she loved it. She has been reading all of the Grace Chapel Inn books and really likes them all.
