Christmas in Bar Harbor

The Harvey Sisters celebrate their first Christmas in Bar Harbor. Love, joy, and companionship await after a year of heartache and mystery— and the eldest sister, Casey Harvey Griffin, is unprepared for what the holiday has in store for her.

Casey has always been the hot-headed sister— the passionate one, the go-getter, the one who took the lead when everything else fell apart. She was there when Nicole's life exploded and there when Heather lost everything. She's always been there to carry the weight of other people's problems. Her own problems? She's shoved those under the carpet, saying, as always, "Everything is fine." It's always been her way.

In truth, Casey's marriage has disintegrated year-after-year, as Grant took projects further and further away from his family and abandoned what they built. Casey's career took a hiatus when her hot-headedness caused a horrible fight at her architecture firm in Portland. For a long time, she had absolutely nothing except her sisters -- and then, as quick as a snap of the fingers, both of her sisters abandoned her for Bar Harbor, a place they always swore they'd never return to.

Now, she's been in Bar Harbor for months, pretending her marriage isn't falling apart, finding new happiness and new hope in a place her mother, Jane, left behind long ago.

Christmas has a number of mysteries up it sleeves. Casey never imagined life had any twists or turns left for her. But with enough creativity, love, and the support of family— Casey might just have the Christmas of her dreams.

Dive into this new women's fiction series, Mount Desert Island— an unfolding family drama of heartache, longing and secrets on a beautiful island off the coast of Maine.
