"Knipfer weaves a historical novella that offers twists and turns you'll never see coming only tie up this lovely holiday tale with a bright red bow. As always, the prose is nearly poetic---Knipfer's great skill, and it makes reading a delight. The characters are well thought out and not simple cut-outs-a difficult feat considering this is a novella and not a full-length historical." Jenny Cary, author of the inspirational series: Relentless, The Crockett Chronicles, and The Weather Girls

A CHRISTMAS NOVELLA OF RESTORATION AND SWEET ROMANCE

It's the end of 1897 and Christmas approaches. It's been years since Holly Moore has seen her father, a well-known lumber baron, but she has heard he's come back home to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Having lived with her aunt and uncle since the age of ten, Holly holds mixed feelings about seeing the man who once abandoned her.

When the opportunity comes for Holly to slip into the household of Grapevine Lodge-her childhood home and the seat of the Moore Lumber fortune-virtually unnoticed, she takes it.

While at Grapevine Lodge, Holly encounters Matthew Peterson, the son of a business associate of her father's. She quickly develops a friendship with Matthew, but when she finds out just who he really is and what he's come to the lodge for, Holly questions their relationship.

Will Holly's father recognize her? Can she move past all that has kept her and her father apart and finally be able to truly come home? Can Holly keep her feelings for Matthew and still step into her role as the heiress to a lumber fortune?

Find out in this short and sweet, Christmas-themed novella with a surprise twist. Readers of Christian historical fiction, Christian or clean romance, and Christmas fiction will experience a heart-warming story of all that makes Christmastime magical.
