Perfect for fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Sheila Roberts."This should be a movie!" --Vanessa Miller, USA TODAY bestselling author of The American QueenElla Wilson has avoided home and the holidays for nearly a decade. For her, the season is plagued by a jinx that's brought nothing but painful memories: her mother's death nearly two decades ago, her fiancé's abandonment last year, and now the loss of her job as an art curator. But without work to occupy her, home is exactly where Ella has ended up. And somehow, she's also been roped into planning the town's Christmas tree auction--side by side with her first love.Seth Hamil knows that home is where the heart is, and for him, it's always been the sleepy community of Bellepoint, Pennsylvania . . . and for a while in high school that included Ella Wilson.

So, despite their history, Seth isn't about to let his wife's vision for the event be easily dismissed by Ella's temporary presence and big-city ideas.Seth has built his life around community, music, and honoring his late wife's legacy. Working with Ella challenges his resolve, but it also rekindles the spark they once shared. As holiday traditions bring them closer, both must decide if fate is offering them a second chance at love--and whether Christmas wishes really can come true.Filled with festive charm, rediscovered love, and the joy of community, Snow Place Like Home is the perfect cozy fireside read for the holiday season.
