HTML:<b>From Richard Paul Evans, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Christmas Promise</i> and <i>The Christmas Box</i>—"the most popular holiday tale since Tiny Tim" (<i>Newsweek</i>)—a new novel celebrating the life-changing power of the holiday spirit.</b><br /> Leigh Beth Stilton has never liked the holidays. After growing up in an unstable home, escaping an abusive marriage, and witnessing daily tragedies as an EMT, Leigh just can't bring herself to care about Christmas cheer. In fact, she's so convinced she's not worth loving that one winter's eve, she decides she can't go on—until she comes across a book called <i>Bethel</i> and starts to read.<br /> <br /> Leigh is unfamiliar with the author, J.D. Harper, but his words speak directly to her. She's never felt so seen and understood, and this connection gives her the strength to carry on. She avidly reads every novel Harper has written, and when he comes to town for a book signing, she jumps at the opportunity to meet the writer who means so much to her.<br /> <br /> In a twist of fate, Leigh runs into J.D. in a coffee shop, and the two immediately click. Before she knows it, she's swept up in a whirlwind of fancy dinners, exciting travel, and the attention of the man whose work has been so meaningful to her. But she's leery after a lifetime of pain and when she discovers that J.D. hasn't been completely honest, her hopes are dashed. Can they find their way back to each other and can Leigh learn to trust her heart? Media Type: Audiobook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2024-11-26 20:00:03.
