"With echoes of classic Hollywood love stories like Serendipity and An Affair to Remember, Viola Shipmans latest winter charmer following the USA TODAY bestseller The Secret of Snow is sure to tug on heartstrings and delight readers who love books about books, missed connections and the magic of Christmas. Despite losing her parents in a tragic accident just before her fourteenth Christmas, Susan Norcross has had it better than most, with loving grandparents to raise her and a gang of quirky, devoted friends to support her. Now a successful bookstore owner in a tight-knit Michigan lakeside community, Susan is facing down forty -- the same age as her mother when she died -- and she cant help but see everything she hasnt achieved, including finding a love match of her own. To add to the pressure, everyone in her small town believes its Susans destiny to meet and marry a man dressed as Santa, just like her mother and grandmother before her. So it seems cosmically unfair that the man she makes an instant connection with at an annual Santa Run is lost in the crowd before she can get his name. What follows is Susan and her friends hilarious and heartwarming search for the mystery Santa -- covering twelve months of social media snafus, authors behaving badly and dating fails -- as well as a poignant look at family, friendship and what defines a well-lived and well-loved life."--Publisher.
