Mackinac Island ChristmasBy Gail Gaymer MartinDescription:Josie Ryan arrives on Mackinac Island, looking forward to the Christmas season in the quaint setting with no automobiles and a back-in-time aura, but she learns that her longtime friend has to cancel her trip due to a family emergency. Disappointed, Josie decides to stay the day and then cancel her trip since it’s no fun being alone. But her plans change when Chris Barnes, visiting his grandfather, comes to her aid and offers to show her the sites. When she learns that Chris is raising his deceased brother’s child, she is touched. Amid snowball fights, snowmen, and snow angels, Josie’s life changes when she falls in love with the little girl, but Ellie wants a mommy. Even though Chris is a great guy with wonderful attributes, Josie has absolutely no plans to marry, or can this four-year-old change Josie’s plans. Book Takeaway:Dwelling on the past, does not provide a clear look at the future. Trust your heart and not past mistakes. Why the author wrote this book:I love Mackinac Island with its unique setting makes a great place for a Christmas story involving memorable characters and a small town that loves Christmas. |
