Christmas on Ocracoke

By Christina Sinisi

Description:

Reeling from the upheaval of a failed marriage, Annie Hanahan is desperate for a new start—and when she inherits a cottage on Ocracoke Island, she may finally get it. Without a second thought, she packs up and leaves everything behind: her first name, her job, and her ex-husband. But when she arrives in the Outer Banks, she finds the island—and her promised refuge—ravaged by Hurricane Dorian. As a contractor who has given so much of his time to helping Ocracoke recover, it surprises no one when Trey Kingsley offers to help the beautiful newcomer, but something is holding her back. Life keeps throwing them together, though, or perhaps God’s hand is giving them a nudge. Will a little bit of divine intervention be enough for a Merry Christmas on Ocracoke?

Book Takeaway:

Forgiveness sets all free--not just the sinner but the sinned against. On the other hand, we're all both.

Why the author wrote this book:

I visited Ocracoke Island for the first time in December of 2019, three months after Hurricane Dorian hit. There were still mountains of debris and boarded-up houses--and I saw the need on this beautiful island at the edge of nowhere.
