β¦ Synopsis
βA wonderful story of redemption and restoration that will warm your heart during the Christmas seasonβor any time of year!β
**βFrancine Rivers,**best-selling author ofRedeeming Love
Wrapped in a cloud of steam, the engine rolled to a stop, the screech of metal against metal filling the frosty air. Snow blew across the railway platform and around Megβs calfskin walking boots. The weather definitely was not improving.
She ordered tea with milk and sugar, eying the currant buns and sweet mincemeat tarts displayed beneath a bell jar.
Later, perhaps, when her appetite returned. At the moment her stomach was twisted into a knot.
βAnything else for you?β the cashier asked as she handed over the tea, steaming and fragrant.
Meg was surprised to find her fingers trembling when she lifted the cup. βAll I want is a safe journey home.β
βOn a day like this?β the round-faced woman exclaimed. βNone but the Almighty can promise you that, lass.β
βA Wreath of Snow glows with warmth, charm, and grace. A wonderful read.β
βBJ HOFF, author of The Riverhaven Years series

When her plans for a festive holiday with her family in Stirling crumble beneath the weight of her brotherβs bitterness, the young schoolteacher wants nothing more than to return to the students she loves and the town house she calls home.
Then an unexpected detour places her in the path of Gordon Shaw, a handsome newspaperman from Glasgow, who struggles under a burden of remorse and shame.
When the secret of their shared history is revealed, will it leave them tangled in a knot of regret? Or might their past hold the threads that will bind their future together?
As warm as a woolen scarf on a cold winterβs eve,A Wreath of Snowis a tender story of love and forgiveness, wrapped in a celebration of all things Scottish, all things Victorian, and, especially, all things Christmas.
