A Christmas Novella
September 7, 2021
After a time of heartache and loss, Simone Winthrop discovers a tantalizing letter from her French great-grandmother, which seems to suggest that she is heir to a family treasure. Ever practical, Simone assumes the claim is baseless, but her best friend encourages her to find out for sure. Despite her deep-rooted fear of flying, Simone boards a jet to travel to Paris at Christmastime to uncover the truth.
During the long flight, Simone meets the charming Kyle Larsson, who's on his way to France to become an apprentice clockmaker. Though they abruptly part ways, an unexpected rendezvous in the French Alps at Simone's family's clock factory may lead to the discovery of the family treasure . . . and so much more.
For anyone who is wearying of staying home, Melody Carlson invites you to spend Christmas with her in the beautiful French Alps this year. So pull on your mittens, tie your scarf tight, and prepare yourself for a magical mountain holiday.

My thoughts: Melody Carlson is an avid writer in almost all genres but what I really
look forward to each year is her annual Christmas book. This one takes a grieving
granddaughter away from the only home she's ever known to a foreign land where
she doesn't even know the language in search of a treasure. What is the treasure?
I had my suspicions but I was partly wrong and partly right. The heroine was sweet
and naive, opening up to complete strangers and telling everything she knows which
kind of made her unwelcome in some circles and welcomed in others. I loved the way
the story came together and I loved the ending and the cover is absolutely gorgeous.
I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
