In this heartwarming, feel-good holiday novel, one woman needs to find a little inspiration in the 25 days leading up to Christmas to help her remember the magic of the season and the magic of falling in love - perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan and Josie Silver.

Kate Potter used to love Christmas. A few years ago, she would have been wrapping her presents in September and baking mince pies on Halloween, counting down the days and hours to Christmas. But that was before Kate’s husband left for the army and never came home. Now she can hardly stand December at all.

Kate can’t deny she’s lonely, yet she doesn’t think she’s ready for romance. She knows that her son, Jack, needs a Christmas to remember - just like Kate needs a miracle to help her finally move forward with her life. So she’s decided if there isn’t a miracle on its way, she’ll just have to make her own.

As Kate’s advent countdown to the best Christmas ever begins, she soon realizes that even with the best laid plans, you can’t plan for the unexpected. For when the path of the loneliest woman in town crosses with that of the loneliest man, these two destined hearts might find a way to save the holiday for both of them.

Moving on from grief and financial challenges means facing them with guts even amongst holidays. Well written story with a very likable heroine.

Moving on.

This is a charming story but original and heartfelt. I absolutely did not expect it to be so good. Give yourself a holiday gift and listen.

So depressing and really wish I hadn’t have listened to it although the narrator was terrific.

Not exactly a Christmas upper of s book.

I was laughing, crying and ridiculously smiling through out this book. Yes it was sad, but it was real and it ended wonderfully. I can’t wait to hear more from this author.

I LOVED IT!

I found myself gasping at parts, getting a bit teary and smiling often. This is a wonderfully written and sweet story. I hated to see it end.

So sweet

I own literally hundreds of audio books and listen constantly. I'm also a writer as well as a university writing teacher for more than 25 years. This is one of the best books I've listened to in a long time, one I know I'll listen to again. Is it sad? Sure, but as it's a Christmas novel, we know the ending will be a happy one. Is it predictable? Yes, but in the best of ways. In addition, the characters are very well-developed--all of them--and the dialogue is believable and not the least bit cliche or sappy. The author has also done a superb job of setting up a series, one I'm eagerly looking forward to. Thank you, Poppy Alexander for some lovely hours, and I hope we'll see Kate, Daniel and Jack again!

A real standout!

Great pair. Poppy’s writing and Helen’s narration! Terrific book! Moving on to another narration by Helen Keeley while I await Poppy’s next book.

Love Helen Keeley and Poppy Alexander!

This was quite a pleasant first read for this Christmas season. It was almost too much Christmas miracle for me having to wait out the agonizing 25 days until Christmas…as the problems continually piled on. I loved the mother-son relationship that went on throughout the story. Oh the sacrifices that we mothers must make. But I wasn’t a big fan of the constant cost counting. That aside, this is a beautifully read and narrated story.

Christmas List Must Read

I was so sorry for this book to end. It’s beautifully written. Alexander created a believable child character in Jack- something that is incredibly hard to do! All the other characters are are well done—I actually missed Kate and Jack when the book was over(and my life is busy and full). The narrator is perfect. Every character has a different voice that fits perfectly and yet there’s no artificial stress or strain in the voice. Helen Keeley is perfect for this book, but I suspect she would be just about perfect for any book. This is not your shallow on the surface feel good read, but it is rich and good- like Christmas!

Wishing for More Days!
