Coming Home

*** THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR ***

'A perfect Christmas read...about family ties and forgiveness that will get you in the mood for the festive season' Woman's Way

Two sisters...two very different lives. Alison. As Christmas approaches, her American dream is in tatters. Her highflying career is on the skids, as she is made jobless in the financial meltdown. Her wealthy boyfriend is playing away. But pride prevents her from telling her family just how bad things are. Olivia, back home, is fraught trying to juggle family, career, preparations for Christmas and a surprise party for their mother's seventieth birthday. How she envies, and sometimes resents, her sister Alison and her life of excitement and affluence in New York. Coming home is the last thing Alison wants to do, especially now that she's met a rather attractive, sexy, down to earth neighbour. But family ties are strong. Alison and Olivia sort their differences, the party throws up a few surprises and Christmas brings changes for Alison that she could never have imagined before.
