The Season of Second Chances

Synopsis

For fans of holiday novels and Christmas collections, a new Christmas collection full of joy, love and the miracle of second chances.THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTOR by Kristina McMorris Jenna Matthews has made a career of decluttering other people&’s lives. After a childhood marked by her mother&’s hoarding, it feels satisfying to sort and evaluate possessions. Some items, however, defy simple categories—like the shoebox of WWII memorabilia she finds in an elderly client&’s home. Nestled alongside a Bronze Star is a photograph of a blushing army nurse and an adoring young serviceman. Estelle Porter, the box&’s owner, becomes curiously tightlipped at Jenna&’s discovery. Even Estelle&’s grandson, Reece, knows nothing about this secret in her past. But as Jenna delves deeper, she pieces together Estelle&’s heartrending story—one that paves new, unexpected paths for many. GIFTED by T. Greenwood Christmas Eve in New York City is a portrait in holiday cheer. Yet Alex, a young ballerina who&’s just been ousted from her ballet company, is contemplating a bittersweet homecoming—until she crosses paths with a stranger. At eighty, Simone&’s memory is rapidly failing, but something has led her back to the place where she began her career as a professional violinist. Different as they may be, both women understand the nature of ambition and self-doubt, joy, and regret. And in a moment of grace, in a place where journeys begin, each will be reminded of what matters most . . .
