NOTES
Previously self-published in 2020 as Christmas at the Restaurant
"USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Pamela Kelley invites readers to experience the warm glow of family, friends, and festivities this Christmas. Come spend the holidays on Nantucket. Nantucket's famous Christmas Stroll is always the first week of December and this year Mimi's Place co-owners want to do something extra special for the restaurant. It will be Emma and Paul's first Christmas together as a couple and Mandy's first holiday as a newly divorced mother of two. Although Mandy does have a promising new relationship, she wants to take things very slow, and the holidays are for sure not the time to dive in too deep. Their sister Jill and her new husband, Billy, are planning to spend the whole month of December on Nantucket too, juggling remote work for the executive search firm they own together in Manhattan with relaxing, spending time with family, and helping out at the restaurant too. Gina Caruso, the awesome bar manager, is spending her first winter on Nantucket after having lived for years in Boston. It's a bit of an adjustment-winters on Nantucket are so much quieter than the city life she was used to. She's even more confused when someone she had a major crush on back in the city moves to Nantucket, while Jared Hawthorne, the new sous chef at Mimi's Place makes it his mission to introduce Gina to all of Nantucket's holiday festivities. Suddenly her boring winter is starting to look a lot more interesting"-- Provided by publisher
