Synopsis

Even in a town as picturesque and rich in history as Olivers Well, theres something special about the Reynolds house on Honeysuckle Lane. Sturdy yet graceful, its where Andie, Emma, and Daniel Reynolds grew upbefore they began to grow apart. For Danny, this first reunion since their mothers death is a chance for him and his sisters to relive cherished holiday traditions before finally settling their parents estate. But readying the house for sale proves no easy task when every piece of furniture and every moment together stirs up the past. Andie, the oldest sibling, didnt just leave home years ago, she left her young daughter too. Although shes found success as a self-help author, coming back shakes her equilibrium. How can she presume to guide others if she cant be honest with those closest to her, much less herself? Middle child Emma struck out on her own instead of accepting her fathers offer to share his business. But now she finds herself wondering if its possible to start over. The house on Honeysuckle Lane contains a lifetimes worth of joys and dreams and its share of regrets too. This Christmas, it will be the place where Andie, Emma, and Danny come together to remember, laugh, fight, planand find their way forward as a family once more.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. This was a heartwarming story about three siblings coming together for Christmas after the death of their mother.
