Just in time for the holidays, comes Christmas at Harrington’s, a tender story about fresh starts from Melody Carlson, the bestselling author of The Christmas Bus.

In Carlson’s latest tale that will charm readers, Christmas is approaching, and Lena Markham finds herself penniless, friendless, and nearly hopeless. She is trying to restart her life after false accusations landed her in prison, but job opportunities are practically nonexistent.
When a secondhand red coat unexpectedly lands her a job as Mrs. Santa at a department store, Lena finally thinks her luck is changing. But can she keep her past a secret?

Full of redemption and true holiday spirit, Christmas at Harrington's will be readers' newest Christmas tradition.

What a delightful story Melody Carlson has created in Christmas at Harrington's! I love the cover and the story within was just as charming.

A beautiful message of grace and restoration, this is the perfect book to curl up with by the fireplace during the Christmas season.
