A Paper Snowflake Christmas

by Maddie Evans

Marlie can’t afford to join her family on their trip during the Christmas break, but her friends have a solution: they’ll host their own Christmas. The question is, where?

Enter Devin, their childhood friend and mischief-maker, who spontaneously volunteers his home for their holidays. He’s still got a wicked grin and a luscious voice. The catch? He’s got custody of his four-year-old nephew, a boy who’s never had a real Christmas.

Years ago, Marlie was always crushing on this larger-than-life troublemaker, but she never breathed a word because her family would have disapproved. Through all of high school, she kept her head down, folding origami cranes and cutting paper snowflakes. This year, everyone's caught up in the rush of decorating, cooking, and giving a preschooler his first magical Christmas…but if she gets brave enough to unfold her paper snowflake heart, maybe Marlie can have one, too.

Solid Short Hallmarkie Christmas Read. Let's face it, as we all go into Christmas weekend, every single one of us *knows* we are *going* to need a break from the extended family at some point for at least an hour or two, right? Well, at just about 130 or so pages... this is the perfect book to snatch up this Christmas and read over that very hour or two break you're going to need anyway. It's got all the family drama and Christmas magic - and Christmas hijinks - one would expect in such a tale, all wrapped up in such a short story that it really, truly is that perfect little breather from the real world and the real family drama. And bonus, new fans of Evans will get a solid introduction to her overall style.... in which case she has several more books ready for you to grab up with those gift cards so many will be getting. ;) But seriously, this is jus another excellent tale from a truly strong storyteller. Do yourself a favor and pick it up. Very much recommended.
