Underpinned by the power of believing magic can happen (and being wise about what you wish for…), Debbie Macomber’s Dear Santa boasts all the heart-warming hallmarks of a classic, feel-good festive read. While you’re never in doubt that the main character will find her happy every after, her winter wonderland of a journey will have sentimentalists and romantics feeling 100% ready for Christmas.
After a rough year, Lindy is home for the holidays and looking forward to spending two whole weeks in the bosom of her family after a stressful time at work, and the double blow of her boyfriend and best friend hooking up together. When Mom suggests she re-reads her childhood letters to Santa, Lindy’s life begins to turnaround, not least when she writes Santa a new letter: “Who would have thought she’d think to write to Santa beyond the age of eight? Life was full of wonders.” Ain’t that the truth, Lindy! It’s not long before she reconnects with a fabulous friend from middle school, and a handsome guy she once felt entirely different about. If this novel is anything to go by, Christmas miracles definitely do happen.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A special holiday wish list brings about hope, love, and second chances in this nostalgic novel from the queen of Christmas stories, Debbie Macomber.
Lindy Carmichael isn't feeling particularly joyful when she returns home to Wenatchee, Washington, for Christmas. The man she thought was "the one" has cheated on her with her best friend, and she feels completely devoid of creativity in her graphic-design job. Not even carolers or Christmas cookies can cheer her up-but Lindy's mother, Ellen, remembers an old tradition that might lift her daughter's spirits.
Reading through a box of childhood letters to Santa and reminiscing about what she'd wished for as a young girl may be just the inspiration Lindy needs. With Ellen's encouragement, she decides to write a new letter to Santa, one that will encourage her to have faith and believe just as she'd done all those years ago. Little does Lindy know that this exercise in gratitude will cause her wishes to unfold before her in miraculous ways. And, thanks to some fateful twists of Christmas magic-especially an unexpected connection with a handsome former classmate-Lindy ultimately realizes that there is truly no place like home for the holidays.
In Dear Santa, Debbie Macomber celebrates the joys of Christmas blessings, old and new.
