When Madison McDowell returns from several years teaching overseas, she has high hopes of picking up where she left off at her family's Christmas tree farm in Oregon. But between damage from a recent wildfire and the neglect due to her sister Addie's unwillingness to invest, the farm is in sad shape. In fact, Addie is intent on selling the property. And to top it off, her former high school flame, the now-widowed Gavin Thompson, has plans to break Madison's heart again by turning his neighboring property into a dusty, noisy dirt bike track for his daughter.
With the odds stacked against her, Madison decides there's only one thing to double down on her dreams. It will take a ton of hard work--and some help from an unlikely ally--to save the farm she so dearly loves. But it may take a miracle to restore her relationship with her sister.
Bestselling and award-winning author Melody Carlson charms and delights with this uplifting Christmas story full of old memories and new beginnings.

MY THOUGHTS.....
Author Melody Carlson's newest novella is a heartwarming story with realistic characters, authentic life situations, and the special emotions associated with Christmas. Madison McDowell's return to her family's Christmas tree farm isn't what she expected and her dream for this family business is entirely the opposite of her sister's intent. Will Madison discover that the adage "You can't go home again" is especially true for her?
Reading Carlson's annual Christmas novella has become one of my traditions and The Christmas Tree Farm didn't disappoint! Music, food, and beautiful decorations helped set the stage, and intriguing drama provided interest, but the joy of family and rekindled romance made it especially appealing! Reading this story revived some of my personal Christmas memories!
If you enjoy Christmas stories and second-chance romance, grab a copy of The Christmas Tree Farm!
