PREVIOUS BOOK IN SERIES: THE CHRISTMAS BOOKSHOP, ISBN 9780063143258. In this second installment of the 'Christmas Bookshop' series, still reeling slightly from a breakup, Carmen Hogan, the manager of McCredie's bookshop, is not particularly looking forward to the holidays. But just as snow begins to fall and the lights of Christmas blink on, all sorts of lovely new possibilities present themselves - for the bookshop, and for Carmen herself.
