The Santa Suit

When newly-divorced Ivy Perkins buys an old farmhouse sight unseen, she is definitely looking for a change in her life. The farmhouse is a labor of love, but Ivy didn’t bargain on just how much labor. Among the left possessions, Ivy finds a Santa suit and a note from a little girl who has one Christmas wish, and that is for her father to return home from the war.

Granddaughter Molly asks… ...

MKA’s 2020 Reading Challenge January 30, 2020 - I’m not super big on New Year’s resolutions. We’ve all been there. Eat less; exercise more. Spend less; save more. Yada yada yada. But when it comes to books and reading I can always get behind a fresh initiative and some goal-setting. If you’re like me, you tend to read a lot of the same kinds of books.
