Christmas At Harringtons

Sometimes the best gift is a second chance

Christmas is approaching, and Lena Markham finds herself penniless, friendless, and nearly hopeless. She is trying to restart her life, 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?

My Thoughts: It's that time of year again. Ornaments are on display at Hallmark, Toys R Us has it's big toy book out and kids are wide eyed and full of wonder waiting for Christmas, parents are beginning the trek to the stores to find that special gift to put under the tree. It is the perfect time to pick up Melody Carlson's book Christmas At Harringtons. Lena has been in jail and is on her way to New Haven, MN for a new start. She is afraid that just mentioning the fact that she was in jail is going to ruin any chance she has of a new start. This book is a beautiful book of restoration, and hope. This was a great way to start off the Christmas season!
