The small town of Parrish Springs is not ready for Matilda Honeycutt. A strange older woman with scraggly gray hair and jewelry that jangles as she walks, Matilda is certainly not the most likely person to buy the old Barton Building on the town's quaint main street. When it becomes apparent that her new shop doesn't fit the expectations of Parrish Springs residents, a brouhaha erupts. After all, Christmas is approaching, and the last thing the town needs is a junky shop run by someone who looks and acts like a gypsy. But as townsfolk venture into the strange store, they discover that old memories can bring new life and healing. Once again, Melody Carlson delivers a Christmas story that will touch hearts and delight the senses. Sure to be a classic, The Christmas Shoppe is filled with the special magic the best Christmas stories share--that intangible mixture of nostalgia, joy, and a little bit of magic.

"Can you tell me about the most interesting, wonderful person you ever knew?" Most of us could answer this question with little hesitation. The person you have in mind may be famous or obscure, male or female, living or dead. She could be the neighbor who was kind to you as a child, she could be your wife or your grandmother. He could be an old friend from college, a fishing buddy or business acquaintance. Whoever the person is, they are special and you wish other people could know them. In this book, I introduce my special person to the world. He was my grandfather. His name was G. W. Lunsford. He was born in the Southern Appalachian Mountains over one hundred years ago. He raised his family, worked hard and did the best he could. He endured heartbreak that would be psychologically lethal to the average person. He smiled and found good in every person he knew. This book is a mirror of his life. It is an unusual and fascinating blend of fact, folklore and fiction. It is a history book, a text in sociology and a biography. The story is straightforward. Lessons about life are hidden within the pages. Book jacket.
❤ The toughest mission of his career… Her ❤ The Christmas season isn't looking great for April Gareaux. Her job is uninspiring, her engagement is off, and she has nowhere to live. Certainly her family would take her in, especially Leslie and Grady Roberts and their circle of friends who have become her extended family. But it's time she stops relying on them. Then comes an extraordinary offer – spend the holidays in Washington, D.C., with King Jozef of Bariavak as his possible long-lost granddaughter. Even more extraordinary is the man behind the offer, who will be beside her through the coming weeks – diplomatic security agent Hunter Pierce. This is the last assignment Hunter would pick. Determination and grit have moved him beyond his past in Bariavak. Yet, here it is standing in front of him again, refusing to be ignored. ... Just like his reactions to April. How can he fight what he's feeling when they're together all the time? King Jozef has known tragedy. Now comes this lovely young woman bringing joy to his holidays. How can he resist dabbling in some royal matchmaking? Wouldn't it be delightful if he could give April a Christmas gift she will never forget ... her prince for a lifetime.
