A Holiday Heart

By Denise Weimer

Description:

On the verge of starting her own company—and a fling with the hot star of a TV vampire saga—Atlanta film makeup artist Ashlyn Jennings is willed a mysterious box containing a key from her grandmother’s estate. Mamie Lou, the former Hollywood B-lister who inspired Ashlyn’s path in life, always demonstrated a flair for the dramatic. But did Mamie Lou really expect her to put everything on hold to clean out a mountain cabin no one even knew about? And right at Christmas?

When Ashlyn arrives at White Falls Lodge armed with cosmetic bags and designer shoes, little is she prepared to be stranded by a snow storm, irritated by the handsome resort owner who seems determined to peel away her facade, and redirected by a God Ashlyn wants to forget, through Mamie Lou’s real gift … the secret story of her grandmother’s past.

Note: 30K-word novella

Book Takeaway:

Even when betrayal by other Christians or our own decisions lead us away from God, He offers a good and redemptive plan.

Why the author wrote this book:

Originally written to be part of a single-volume collection, A Holiday Heart became #10 of the Georgia Peaches Series. The story has a fun, warm-fuzzy, Hallmark vibe while addressing deeper spiritual issues.
