It's the first Christmas in Sweetgrass Springs, Texas for several newcomers who have found a real home for the first time--or found home again. As Jackson Gallagher works to save his hometown from withering away by relocating his business empire there, the only gift he really wants is to marry the teenage sweetheart he thought he'd lost forever--but Veronica Patton Butler has other hearts to care for, however much she loves Jackson. Bridger Calhoun is more than ready to make Penelope Gallagher his bride, but however much she adores him, Shark Girl is dragging her heels on tying the knot--which seems to be a maddening tradition among Gallagher women. Come join the fun...the heartache...the sweetness, as Sweetgrass prepares for a community celebration that will bring the Morning Star Gallaghers and the Marshalls to town, along with several of Jackson's Seattle geeks and more than one lost soul about to find a place to belong-- In eccentric, lovable, unforgettable Sweetgrass Springs...the small town where hope never fades and love never dies.
