The Christmas Sugar Bowl

Nora Addams has lived with her grandmother in her Victorian home in Holly Cove, an hour and a half outside New York City, for the last seven years. Her grandmother is everything to her. Gram has been a bit down since the start of the holiday season. After a sad Thanksgiving, Nora Addams is on a mission. She’s determined to make this Christmas the best one her grandmother has had in years. And it all hinges on finding the sugar bowl that was accidentally sold or donated during a yard sale almost a decade ago. It’s the only missing piece from her grandmother’s heirloom Christmas china set. When she and her best friend Cindy come up empty, she never expects to find someone as determined as Peter McCormick is to find the sugar bowl. What kind of guy would take time away from his thrift store’s busiest season to help a complete stranger track down an antique sugar bowl?

Peter McCormick owns The Good Old Days, a thrift store in New York City. Unfortunately, his little store is in the red and not in a Christmas kind of way. Christmas is a week away and his storefront window lacks as much cheer as Peter does. Determined to give his little store a push in sales and still reeling from a breakup, he wants to get the decorating of his store window over with. With decorations in one hand and a strand of lights wrapped around his body to save time, he walks out into his store to find Nora Addams standing there. Nora’s long lost sugar bowl story touches his broken heart and he becomes determined to find it for her. After all, he had a grandmother once too. And there’s something about Nora he just can’t forget.

Never have two people needed each other as much as Nora and Peter do. Can a quest to find something as sweet as an old sugar bowl bring them together as the Christmas clock ticks away?
