Synopsis
Join bestselling author Sheila Roberts this Christmas as she returns for the final installment in her treasured Icicle Falls series
When Muriel Sterling released her new book, A Guide to Happy Holidays, she felt like the Queen of Christmas. So she's thrilled when the new tree she ordered online arrives and is eager to show it off--until she gets it out of the box and realizes it's a mangy dud. But rather than sulk, Murial decides to make a project out of it. By the time her guests arrive for her annual Christmas party, the tree is a thing of beauty, and she realizes there's a lesson to be learned in all of this: everything and everyone has potential.
But her friends are not so sure about that. Sienna Marks has had about enough of the grouchy man next door who hates noise, hates kids and hates his new neighbors. And Olivia Claussen would love to send her obnoxious new daughter-in-law packing. But Muriel has inspired them both to try to find the good in everyone, and if they can learn to see the beauty in even the roughest characters, perhaps this might turn out to be the happiest holiday yet.
