closer to Clem's mother, Dossie, in Cornwall. Clem realizes that he has to be<br />

with Dossie, Jakey, and Clem are the jovial nuns of the local convent. But when<br />
an unexpected event threatens to destroy the nuns' way of life, will everyone still<br />
be together next Christmas? Beloved novelist Marcia Willett's gentle and<br />
compassionate holiday tale will touch the hearts of parents and grandparents<br />
everywhere.<br />
PRAISE<br />
"With an agile mastery of multiple story lines and an uncanny knack for creating<br />
sympathetic characters, Willett winsomely creates congenial worlds that welcome loyal<br />
fans and new readers with ease." —Booklist on Echoes of the Dance<br />
"Like Rosamunde Pilcher and Maeve Binchy, Willett creates such fully dimensional<br />
characters that readers feel as if they should phone or e-mail them to keep in touch."<br />
—Rocky Mountain News on A Week in Winter<br />
"Tender and moving . . . expertly weaves a family's past and present together to illustrate<br />
the strength of familial bonds. A memorable and emotional read to be savored." —<br />
