Book Nook - Christmas Books by Diane Green

 

On a crisp Christmas Eve in the little town of Wallsingham, Rocket’s boundless energy—fueled by her ever-present ADHD—sparks every corner of the snowy streets, while Homer’s gentle, deliberate pace invites the world to slow down and take it all in.

When they come across Pretty Girl, a lonely Labrador, and her five playful puppies, Rocket’s excitement and Homer’s thoughtful heart lead them into a quiet moment of wonder. Together—with just a nudge from Santa—they discover that the true magic of the season lives in small acts of kindness and the courage to share what we hold dear.

A warm, understated tale of two unlikely friends learning the beauty of giving, Homer and Rocket’s Christmas Puppies celebrates the differences that make us shine—and reminds us that love, patience, and a little holiday spirit can change the world.

Gretchen Willmer arrives in the small New England town of Hatfield with nothing but eleven pennies, following a string of misfortunes that left her homeless, jobless, and grieving her mother’s recent death.

At the bus station, she meets Masie Cruthers, a kind local woman who offers her a place to stay and work at her Christmas shop. As Gretchen settles into the town, she befriends Roy, a widowed handyman, and three little girls, who guide her on a journey to bring magic to the shop. Along the way, Gretchen finds healing, community, and love.
