Book excerpt: "As the calendar counts down to Christmas, Felicia heads to Nantucket to marry the love of her life, Archie. The twinkling lights that beckon from every window, the snow dusting the beautiful streets, the gorgeous red and white satin dress -- every detail is picture-perfect for a dream wedding. The only problem is, this is not Felicia's dream. Happier hiking in shorts than tending to hearth and home like her more traditional sister Lauren, Felicia has only agreed to a lavish winter wedding to make her mother Jilly happy. And while Jilly is thrilled her daughter's found love, she still has reservations about the brawny, bumbling Archie -- especially when Jilly learns that he and Felicia plan to move far away to California after the wedding. To help take her mind off the impending move, Jilly's husband George brings home a charming but mischievous cat named Jock. But when Lauren shows up with high-spirited kids and plenty of judgments in tow, not even Jock's furry antics can keep the already-high family tensions from skyrocketing. Just when it seems like this family is fated to wake up on Christmas morning to stockings full of coal, a holiday surprise brings them together for a very merry celebration"--

When Flora MacKenzie traded her glum career in London for the remote Scottish island of Mure, she never dreamed that Joel—her difficult, adorable boss—would follow. Yet now, not only has Flora been reunited with her family and opened a charming café by the sea, but she and Joel are taking their first faltering steps into romance. With Joel away on business in New York, Flora is preparing for the next stage in her life. And that would be…? Love? She’s feeling it. Security? In Joel’s arms, sure. Marriage? Not open to discussion. In the meanwhile, Flora is finding pleasure in a magnificent sight: whales breaking waves off the beaches of Mure. But it also signals something less joyful. According to local superstition, it’s an omen—and a warning that Flora’s future could be as fleeting as the sea-spray… A bracing season on the shore sets the stage for Jenny Colgan’s delightful novel that’s as funny, heartwarming, and unpredictable as love itself.

All nine Children of the Light take part in a festive program that brings many surprises. A new auditorium is constructed on the island just for the big day. Glittering gifts are distributed to the nearly one hundred people who attend. Special creations that hang on one of the Christmas trees become surprise take-home gifts. However, disasters in rehearsals nearly cancel the event. Two trouble-making boys pulling pranks, costume and prop disasters, and animals on the stage create chaos beyond belief. Throughout the challenges, a wondrous occurrence takes place during the Christmas service that provides the greatest surprise of all! Several unexplained mysteries develop as events unfold. A shadowy sighting from atop Cobblestone Lighthouse comes and goes upon the distant waters of the frozen lake. The children find something unusual tacked onto the dirt walls of a dark underground tunnel. A red garnet necklace, a ruby brooch, and a tourmaline ring remain missing. In the end, Madelaine's kindness and Gabriel's goodness, two Fruit of the Spirit, shine through the complications. This fourth book in the Children of the Light series will make readers smile. At times humorous, but at its heart and core respectful and reverent, the story encourages readers to reflect on what a Christ-centered Christmas celebration is all about.
