“A December to Remember” by Jenny Bayliss

Apart from four magical weeks in the summer when they were children, sisters Maggie, Star and Simone rarely saw one another. Their time together with their father in the village of Rowan Thorpe was always too short and soon enough the girls would be sent back to their lives each to their own mother. Then as they grew older their visits became fewer and their connection as the North sisters faded away. Now, the trio has been called to gather in Rowan Thorpe to hear the reading of their late father’s will. Always one for the dramatics, Augustus North has a scheme in mind for his daughters. In order to collect their inheritance the sisters must rebuild their bond and work together through a series of tasks left behind for them by a father they always wanted more from. The roots of the North family run through the woods of Rowan Thorpe laid out by strong North women hundreds of years ago and now Star, Maggie and Simone must embrace the village that once created magic for them and remember the love they have for one another given to them by a man they hardly knew. It wouldn’t be the holidays without a Jenny Bayliss book. I have read (and loved) everything Bayliss has written and “A December to Remember” is no exception. I love the worlds she creates, the characters in them and the way you never want her stories to end. I highly recommend picking up any Bayliss title to cozy up with this holiday season.
