Macomber

A solo holiday trip inspires one woman to rediscover her passion—and remember that, sometimes, duets are
more fun—in this romantic Christmas novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
“A perfectly delicious Christmas bonbon of a novel.”—Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling
author of The Santa Suit and Bright Lights, Big Christmas Hailey Morgan’s life has always revolved around
music. She once had big dreams of becoming a professional songwriter, but the reality of life has led her to
working as an assistant high school band teacher in Portland. As the holidays approach, Hailey dreads the
annual tradition of spending Christmas with her family and dodging her mother’s meddling questions about
her love life. When Hailey’s close friend offers her the use of her family’s empty cabin for a rejuvenating
solo holiday retreat, Hailey finally decides to do something to make herself happy. However, her arrival in
the small town of Podunk, Oregon, is anything but peaceful when she discovers the cabin has been invaded
by several wild animals. Luckily, Jay, the son of the town’s main store proprietor—and an incredibly
handsome and charming former musician to boot—is more than willing to help. Soon Hailey and Jay are
nearly inseparable, chopping down and decorating a Christmas tree, sipping hot cocoa in front of a cozy fire,
and best of all, playing music together. Jay’s positive feedback and encouragement inspire Hailey to believe
she might succeed as a songwriter after all. But even in her snow-dusted oasis, family holiday drama still
finds Hailey, interrupting and threatening her newfound peace and confidence. Meanwhile revelations from
Jay present complications of their own. Suddenly her Christmas paradise has become a winter storm and
Hailey must weather through the challenges to stand up for herself and embrace the holiday spirit.
