A Cove Creek Christmas


Book Description

Forgotten roots, abandoned family, lost love and three Christmas tragedies all made Chloe Coleman who she is today. When forced to chose, will she stay with the life it took ten years to build, or put aside the memories of a devastating past to become the person she is called to be in the present? Chloe Coleman has worked hard to forget the people she abandoned in her hometown of Cove Creek Tennessee, along with the life changing events that took place there for three consecutive Christmases. She never thinks about Nathan Sharp, the high school sweetheart who jilted her when he moved away for college. Well, almost never. A death in the family brings Chloe back to the mountains of Cove Creek during the Christmas season, where she gets a near lethal dose of community due to her Aunt Mae's manipulations from beyond the grave. Nathan Sharp has reset his roots so deep into Cove Creek's future he never plans to leave again. Once Chloe returns, Nathan knows he has the power to demand that his first love spend a lot more time in her hometown than she'd planned, or wanted. But he'd rather she make that choice on her own. Reconnected with Chloe after so many years, he plans to fight to win her back, despite the fact that she deserted him when he needed her most. He has always believed Chloe belongs with him, now he only has to prove that to her. His hope is that Chloe's memories of the good times spent at the old lighthouse all those years ago will stir up longings from their youth. Before they can find their way back to each other the two will have to overcome the obstacles of a past misunderstanding, a shocking secret, townspeople who want to push them together for their own personal gain, and family who will do whatever necessary to keep them apart.

Determined to save the fundraiser, Sylvia Bergstrom Compson offers to hold the event at Elm Creek Manor, her ancestral family estate and summertime home to Elm Creek Quilt Camp. In the spirit of the season, Sylvia and the Elm Creek Quilters begin setting up market booths in the ballroom and decking the halls with beautiful hand-made holiday quilts. Each of the quilters chooses a favorite quilt to display, a special creation evoking memories of holidays past and dreams of Christmases yet to come. Sarah, a first-time mother expecting twins, worries if she can handle raising two babies, especially with her husband so often away on business. Cheerful, white-haired Agnes reflects upon a beautiful appliqué quilt she made as a young bride and the mysterious, long-lost antique quilt that inspired it. Empty nesters and occasional rivals Gwen and Diane contemplate family heirlooms and unfinished projects as they look forward to having their children home again for the holidays. But while the Elm Creek Quilters work tirelessly to make sure the Christmas Boutique happens, it may take a holiday miracle or two to make it the smashing success they want it to be. Praised for her ability to craft “a wonderful holiday mix of family legacy, reconciliation and shared experiences” (Tucson Citizen), Jennifer Chiaverini once again rings in the festive season with this eagerly awaited addition in her beloved series.
