MMD team member Leigh says: "Set at a Jewish-run Christmas tree farm, Noelle and Miriam are initially at odds when they discover they’ve inherited the tree farm along with Miriam’s cousin Hannah and Hannah’s ex Levi. Emotions are running high when Miriam decides she’ll stay to get Carrigan’s through this holiday season, to Noelle’s chagrin. The evolution from there was an absolute delight but this is not a romcom. In addition to grief, it delves into healing from trauma and there’s a dash of angst. I borrowed this from the library and immediately bought my own copy once I finished. (Closed door.)"

This second chance romance exceeded all expectations! Hannah and Levi had an all-consuming relationship despite having very different visions for their lives. She wanted to work at her family’s inn forever, while he couldn’t wait to escape. Things came to a head and Levi left. When he returns four years later, Hannah’s life is upended once again while they try to figure out what a healthy relationship might actually look like. Plus, their core conflict hasn't changed. Hannah loves her job at Carrigan’s and her agoraphobia makes it difficult to leave, while chef Levi still longs to be anywhere but there. Despite the ways they hurt each other in the past, Levi and Hannah have an undeniable connection and massive chemistry. Now they have to see if they can find a compromise. (Closed door.)
