I'm dreaming of a white Christmas... Collette has made a happy life for herself in retirement. She's active with church programs, volunteers at the library, and regularly meets with her friends for coffee and gossip. With Christmas around the corner, it becomes more apparent that Collette is alone. Until the love of her life walks through the door. Just like the ones I used to know... Eddie spends most of his time alone. Sure, he's become the neighborhood handyman, but after the odds and ends are fixed up, he retreats back to his empty house and his quiet routine. But when his neighbor sets him up on social media and he discovers the profile of his high school sweetheart, he breaks the routine to go out and find her. Collette and Eddie's reunion is what they've both been waiting for their whole lives. But before they can spend the rest of their lives together, they both agree they need to find the daughter they were forced to give up as teenagers. The daughter who could be anywhere in the world. A Christmas Family is the ninth book in the Small Town Christmas series. Each book in the series is an independent story and the series can be read in any order.
