Capturing Wishes: A Whispering Pines Christmas Novel

Children know the power of a holiday wish. Adults forget.

Virginia and Nathan make an unlikely pair. She's spent decades working in her beloved bookstore. He'll graduate from college in the spring. Both are at a crossroads.

After she abandoned her writing dreams, Virginia's mission in life shifted to helping other authors. But languishing sales and health struggles could mean the end of Book Journeys. Her husband wants to travel south to escape the bitter cold of Minnesota winters. Maybe it's time to walk away.

Nathan loves books. He should be hunting for a "real" job, but his dreams don't include cubicles or corporate ladders. He'd rather help Virginia save her store. The vintage Santa suit he unearthed in the basement is a huge hit on social media. Maybe there's hope.

Can Nathan convince Virginia it's not too late to chase her most elusive dream? It feels impossible, but no one should underestimate the magic of a Christmas wish.

Capturing Wishes will take you on a heartfelt exploration of new and old loves, fresh and forgotten dreams, and the inevitable perks of different perspectives. This inspiring holiday novel is a delightful addition to the Celia's Gifts series by Kimberly Diede.

Whether you are new to these Whispering Pines novels or anxious to enjoy more time with this refreshing circle of family and friends, you deserve the gift of this feel-good story.
