Pretzels & Pirouettes: The Baby Is the Gift

By Lynn U. Watson

Description:

Meet Clars’s great-great-great-granddaughter, motorcycle-riding, ballet-dancing Lyydi Jager. She’ll pirouette straight into your heart, and you’ll ride right into this Christmas pageant at Our Savior Church.

You’ll laugh, and cry, and wonder just how silly things can get with a bunch of kids in a dancing Christmas play! She and her friend, Summer, lead the children to exclaim, “The Baby is the Gift!”

Lyydi’s just as creative and spunky as Clara (Tangled Promises and Frayed Promises) ever thought to be. But “Pickled Pliés!” She’s vowed she has no interest in any man. That’s before a stranger shows up at the church in an Arabian Knight costume, and wearing a pretzel on his head! Pretzels & Pirouettes is their meet-cute.

You’ll discover their story in Book 3 of the Promised Destiny series, where new mysteries and family secrets will keep you cheering for this couple. Nancy Drew-style clues will keep you guessing until the end. Planted Promises is expected to release in Spring 2026.

Why the author wrote this book:

Planted Promises, Book 3 in the Promised Destiny series (expected Spring 2026), is set in the present with lots of connections to the past generations of Clara's family introduced in Tangled Promises and Frayed Promises. Writing this Christmas story provided a fun opportunity for you to meet those contemporary characters as they share the joyful news of our Savior's birth.
