Bestselling author Robin Jones Gunn brings readers a poignant Christmas novella about a woman, desperate for a place to belong, who finds herself in London a few days before Christmas, looking for the father she never knew.
In FINDING FATHER CHRISTMAS, Miranda Carson's search for her father takes a turn she never expected when she finds herself in London with only a few feeble clues to who he might be. Unexpectedly welcomed into a family that doesn't recognize her, and whom she's quickly coming to love, she faces a terrible decision. Should she reveal her true identity and destroy their idyllic image of her father? Or should she carry the truth home with her to San Francisco and remain alone in this world? Whatever choice she makes during this London Christmas will forever change the future for both herself and the family she can't bear to leave. Robin Jones Gunn brilliantly combines lyrical writing and unforgettable characters to craft a story of longing and belonging that will stay with readers long after they close the pages of this book.
In Engaging Father Christmas, Miranda Carson can't wait to return to England for Christmas and to be with her boyfriend, Ian. She has spent a lifetime yearning for a place to call home, and she's sure Carlton Heath will be it, especially when a hinted-at engagement ring slips into the conversation.
But Miranda's high hopes for a jolly Christmas with the small circle of people she has come to love are toppled when Ian's father is hospitalized and the matriarch of the Whitcombe family withholds her blessing from Miranda. Questions run rampant in Miranda's mind about whether she really belongs in this cheery corner of the world. Then, when her true identity threatens all her relationships in unanticipated ways, Miranda is certain all is lost.
And yet . . . maybe Father Christmas has special gifts in store for her after all.
(thanks to everyone who did leave info, good luck!! :)

ReplyDeleteI love all ofRobin's Sisterchicks books! I would love to win these books :)
ReplyDeleteIt is an unselfish thing for Miranda to think she should just go back to San Francisco and not reveal who she is so as to not tarnish her father's image. But, who's to say her father would very much love to know about her? I'd love to find out how this story plays out, it sounds like I could just cry through it, something I do with GOOD books. The next one sounds equally good, though it looks like it deals with rejection. This is a subject close to my heart as I've been there for almost half of my life in one way or another. Another tear jerker? Probably. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks so much.
