Still grieving the loss of her husband in the Great War, Rose Callahan Pembroke remains in her mother-in-law’s grand Back Bay home out of duty—and her promise to Henry not to leave his mother alone. But Eleanor Pembroke never wanted Rose as a daughter-in-law, and her presence is a constant reminder of all the family has lost.
Just before Christmas, Rose’s spirited young nieces arrive. Lively, imaginative, and full of mischief, the girls are everything the house is not. And Annie, the youngest, holds tight to a Christmas wish only Santa can grant.
As their laughter fills the empty halls, Rose dares to believe in joy again. But when someone from the girls’ past threatens their fragile peace, Rose must fight for the family she never expected—but now can’t imagine living without.
’Twas Christmas in Boston is a heartfelt story of grief, healing, love lost and found…and the magic of believing.
