Cape Light reflects on its past and revels in its future in this Christmas novel from Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer. After serving in Iraq, David has returned home to find that his widowed father has remarried. Jobless and dealing with physical injuries that may never heal, David doesn’t have much Christmas cheer, especially when Christine, his ex-girlfriend, comes to work at his father’s tree farm. Trying not to seem bitter or discouraged is even harder than the physical therapy he must undergo, and David realizes that he not only needs to heal his body but his heart as well. Meanwhile, Lillian Warwick’s daughters are concerned about their elderly, yet fiercely independent, mother living on her own. Even her old friend, Dr. Ezra Elliot, can’t get through to her. When the tables are turned and Ezra is in need of her help, they are both surprised to find they value each other beyond just friendship. And Lillian begins to wonder if it’s still possible to let love into her life...

Truly a Merry Christmas! Merry Mattson has come a long way in her life—from poor and unwanted child to successful musician. One of her few ties to childhood is her continuing friendship with Holden Drake.

Out of long habit, Merry visits Holden every Christmas—although they both insist that Christmas means nothing to them. This Christmas is different, though. Because Merry's engaged and she won't be joining Holden in California. Holden's convinced that she's making a mistake—and he decides to join her in Minnesota instead.

A holiday miracle comes to Cape Light in this heartwarming novel from Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer. As the spirit of the season spreads through the seaside hamlet of Cape Light, town mayor Emily receives an unexpected and precious Christmas gift: a baby girl tucked away in a decorative cradle set up outside the church, with a note begging whoever discovers the child to take care of her. Emily is granted temporary custody—and realizes that if the mother is not found, she badly wants to keep baby Jane as her own. But the problems and changes an adoption would bring do not sit well with her husband, Dan, who’s already raised children and does not want that responsibility again. Now, in the midst of the year’s most joyous season, Emily must come to terms with her duty to her family, her own feelings of regret and loss—and what her heart truly desires...
