In the winter of 1894, snow has come early to Cedar Ridge, a small logging town in the Washington mountains. Soon the pass will close, and the town will be cut off until spring.
Every December, the people of Cedar Ridge write Christmas wishes, not for themselves but for someone else. They drop them into a wooden box at the church. This year, those wishes will change three lives.
The Song at Cedar Ridge General Store: Ten years after losing her husband, widow Lucy Worth still runs the family store and is raising their daughter, Dottie. Dottie has one wish: to remember the song her father used to sing. Then a man from his past comes back to town.
The Wish for a Home: Schoolteacher Sophia Rosay has settled into a quiet life. Then Joseph Turner arrives, a drifting logger who has never belonged anywhere. He offers to build something the whole town will see from Main Street.
The Lanterns of Cedar Ridge: Boardinghouse keeper Sara Rosay can tell a lot about a man by how he carries himself. The tired doctor at her door is carrying a secret that could cost him everything.
Three heartwarming, clean stories of grief and hope, faith and second chances, and a town that won't let anyone carry their burdens alone.
Perfect for readers who love small-town Christmas stories, historical romance, and the warmth of coming home.
