'Heart-warming and unputdownable' Carmel Harrington
Emily couldn't be happier. She and her partner Bill are raising his beautiful grandson together. Her favourite
time of year is just around the corner and she's busy planning a special festive lunch for family and friends.
But when Bill's troubled daughter turns up out of the blue, Emily knows everything is about to change. Will Christine disappear again, or try to reclaim her son, the boy Emily has come to love as her own? And will Emily have to ask Bill to choose between the two women he loves?
As winter sets in, Emily's life becomes more and more complicated, as she and everyone she cares about
keep their feelings - as well as some secrets - buried. Will they all find their way back to happiness and each
other in time for Christmas Day?
