With only four weeks until Christmas, she launches a desperate campaign to save the historic heart of her hometown's Christmas Eve tradition. But restoring more than just weathered stone and broken windows, Allison finds herself rebuilding the fractured relationships that matter most. Her estranged mother and sister harbor secrets that have divided their family for six years, while a principled city official named Eli Walker holds the power to approve—or deny—her preservation permit. As Allison navigates small-town politics, uncovers hidden family truths, and discovers a forgotten love letter from her husband tucked inside the hall's broken piano, she realizes that some foundations are worth fighting for, even when it means risking her heart again. Set against the snowy backdrop of Yuletide Creek’s Christmas season, this heartwarming tale weaves together second chances, family forgiveness, and the magic that happens when a community comes together to save what they love most. Sometimes the greatest restoration project isn't a building—it's learning to trust in new beginnings while honoring the past. less
