A CHRISTMAS WISH: A LINDEN CORNERS NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码: 14780011B48884

English Summary/英文概要: This Christmas, the greatest gifts can’t be found beneath a tree. . .
Eight-year-old Janey Sullivan has had a difficult year, between losing her mother and adjusting to life with her guardian, Brian Duncan. But with the holidays approaching, her one Christmas wish is to find the perfect gift for Brian—if she can learn to trust him first.
Reeling from the loss of his soul mate, Brian is determined to give her daughter, Janey, an extraordinary Christmas. But he struggles to read her irregular moods, and when he catches her in a lie, he begins to doubt the future of their new little family.
Can Brian and Janey navigate the emotional mine fields of the holiday season and forge a lasting bond? With the help of their friends in Linden Corners, and a bit of Christmas magic riding on the wind, they may be able to preserve Janey’s mother’s traditions, perhaps even start some new ones—and discover that the life they hadn’t planned on can still bring the happiness they’ve always wished for.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 今年圣诞,圣诞树下便再也没有最美好的礼物了。。。。。。 8岁的詹妮•沙利文正经历着她最难熬的一年:失去母亲并适应和新监护人布莱恩•邓肯一起生活。然而随着节日的临近,她的圣诞节愿望之一便是为布莱恩找到一个最完美的圣诞礼物---当然前提是如果她能先学会相信他。 布莱恩一边因为痛失灵魂伴侣而悲痛欲绝,一边他决心给挚爱的女儿詹妮一个最为精彩与难忘的圣诞夜。然而当他努力地想要弄明白詹妮反覆无常的心情,并在此过程中发现她的谎言时,布莱恩不禁开始质疑这个全新小家庭的未来生活。 布莱恩和詹妮能否在这美好的节日季把握两人的情感交融之旅上正确方面,并借此建立起真正持久的情感纽带?在林登角朋友们的帮助下,再来上一点儿圣诞魔力助威,或许他们不仅可以保留詹妮母亲的传统,甚至还有望开始一些新的传统---他们还将发现原来即使是没有按原计划进行的生活也可能为他们带来希冀已久的幸福与快乐。(DC)

Awards/获奖情况:“一个精彩的圣诞故事,有关于如何走出悲伤与失落,并继续向新的生活迈进。当布莱恩和詹妮都努力的试图在失去挚爱的世界上继续前进时,他们对于各自所展现出的爱与情感同样暖人心扉。尽管本书是一部独立作品,但事先阅读Tilting at Windmills却会为本书的阅读带来不一样的愉悦效果。” – 《RT 书评》, 4.5星

“A wonderful Christmas story of moving on beyond grief and loss. The love that Brian and Janey display for one another is heartwarming as they struggle to make a life without someone they both loved dearly. Though this story stands alone, reading Tilting at Windmills first will make it more enjoyable.” – RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars
