NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Love can transform even the best-laid plans in this heartfelt Christmas novel from the queen of Christmas stories, Debbie Macomber.
Trapped in the middle of five siblings, Everly Lancaster always had big dreams. Now a top real-estate executive, Everly finds her work is her life, leaving no space for anything (or anyone) else. Sensing her stress, Everly’s boss insists she take December off. At first, a month away seems crazy—how will the company survive without her? But Everly’s mother convinces her otherwise. She deserves a vacation—plus, when she returns, she’ll have no excuse to skip family Christmas like she did last year.
But after her vengeful assistant books a guided cruise in the Amazon instead of the luxury beach vacation she expected, Everly is horrified to realize that she’s about to spend the next two weeks trapped—with no Wi-Fi!—in the rain forest. Not even Asher Adams, the ship’s charming naturalist, can convince Everly that the trip will be unforgettable. Slowly but surely, she realizes he is right: the sights are spectacular. And with each passing day, Everly’s relationship with Asher deepens, forcing her to take a long, hard look at her priorities.
Everly and Asher begin to see magic in the possibility of a life together. But as the cruise nears its end, and Everly’s family Christmas approaches, both must decide if love is worth the risk. A merry surprise may be in store in Debbie Macomber’s newest holiday delight.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Macomber (A Walk Along the Beach) delivers a sweet Christmas story about a driven female executive and the easygoing naturalist who sweeps her off her feet. Chicagoan Everly Lancaster, the co-founder of a thriving real estate company, is a notorious workaholic. When her business partner, Jack Campbell, insists she take an extended Christmas vacation, Everly's game until she realizes that her vengeful assistant booked her on a bare-bones Amazon River expedition, rather than the luxurious cruise she was expecting. Enter charismatic guide Asher Adams, who is determined to see all his passengers fall in love with the wild beauty of the rainforest. To Everly's surprise, he succeeds and manages to win her heart along the way. But, once they're off the boat, can Everly's big-city lifestyle mesh with Asher's vagabond ways? Macomber ably portrays a variety of relationships from the fraught back-and-forth of bickering siblings and parents to emerging romantic love while spinning a solid and believable plot. This light romance will leave readers feeling merry and bright.
