When Christmas Comes by Katherine Spencer-337 pages

Liza Merritt is grateful for the many blessings in her life when she returns to Angel Island with her family to celebrate Thanksgiving. Most of all, she's looking forward to a reunion with her dear friend, Claire. But when Liza and her family arrive, she instantly notices that the Inn has fallen in to disrepair. It's a hard truth to face, but big decisions must be made. When Liza's husband has to return to Arizona, her and the children stay behind to come to a decision about whether to sell her precious Inn or not.

In Cape Light village, Emily faces an unexpected challenge. It's one that will test her moral courage and her bond with her adopted daughter, Jane.  Who is this mysterious woman who has come to work at the Inn on Angel Island?  And, when she tries to run away, not once but twice, who is the dashing man who comes to love her and bring her back?

I have followed this series, Angel Island as well as the Cape Light series from the very beginning.  I loved Thomas Kinkade's artwork..the painter of light.  So, I guess in my mind the characters that Katherine Spencer brings to life makes his quaint villages come to life in my mind.  I always look forward to the next installment.
