"If you ever had a high school sweetheart, this book is for you. If you ever moved away from a small town, this book is for you. N.C. Richard sweeps you away . . . " (G.T.)
Christmas in Dover’s Corners is a heartwarming tale of forgiveness, second chances, and the magic of coming home, perfect for fans of cozy holiday romances and small-town charm.
Ten years after Hannah Hardy trash-talked her hometown of Dover’s Corners and scandalized its residents in her first novel, she’s back in town to write a follow-up story.
Despite their best efforts to avoid each other, Hannah and onetime childhood friend-turned-boyfriend Lewis Gibbs are thrown together again and again. He owns the local bookstore, but he’s never forgiven her for what she wrote, and refuses to sell her books. Things get complicated when Hannah is cast as the female lead—opposite Lewis, naturally—in the town Christmas play. And just when it seems that her life has reached peak craziness, Hannah’s most recent ex-boyfriend, who told her that he “needed space” a few weeks earlier, shows up in town, determined to win her back.
Yet, as Hannah immerses herself in festive activities, rekindles old relationships, and confronts past mistakes, she comes to realize how little the younger version of herself understood about life in Dover’s Corners. Is it possible that the past isn’t all it seemed? It takes a cold, snowy night in a pasture with Lewis and a cow named Merry to make everything clear to Hannah, and by the final curtain on Christmas Eve, her life will be much changed, all for the better.
