Restoring Christmas

I loved this Christmas tale! Alexis, a designer, has her plan: restore an aging widow's home for a slot at a home-improvement reality show with a Christmas theme. When she arrives in tiny Algoma, things instantly begin to go wrong, starting with the videographer she was supposed to use.

There's some romance in the book, but I felt it takes a second place to the heart-felt story of getting Elsie's place restored and finding out how to pry open Elsie's scarred heart, which is just the way I like it. This is a beautiful story about the true meaning of kinship and giving, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
