...and perfect for all readers from tweens to seniors. Hope at Christmas, as seen on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, has just been released for the first time in mass-market paperback. It's wearing a new cover too. One that shows off that super-fun book Christmas tree they created in The Book Bea in the movie.

NOW A HALLMARK ORIGINAL MOVIE!

Nancy Naigle's Hope at Christmas is a heartwarming Christmas story that proves you can always go home again…


Sydney Ragsdale is looking for a fresh start far after a divorce. Returning to her childhood home in Hopewell, North Carolina, is just what her soul needs. Praying some Christmas magic will follow her, Sydney moves with her daughter to a farmhouse that once belonged to her grandparents. Soon, she finds solace working at The Book Bea, her favorite bookstore.


Single dad Kevin MacAlee is the local high school history teacher and baseball coach. “Mac” is also the town’s best-kept secret: he has been playing Santa since his son was born twelve years ago. Mac loves the enchantment of the season and wants his son to share in his joy.


When a catastrophe forces The Book Bea to close before the end of the year, everyone in Hopewell is feeling the loss. Can they all come together and reclaim the holiday spirit…and find a way to move forward toward their dreams?


Dear Reader,

As is often the case, there are several differences between the book and the movie, and lots more plot threads in the book too. I can't wait to hear your favorite switch-ups, and missing pieces. Let me hear from you...and tell your friends about this story too.

Hugs and happy reading,

Nancy

It started with a simple hope, to write one story that might help someone through a hard day.
