Every year on the first day of December, Christopher Byrne traveled from his farm in Nova Scotia to sell his Christmas trees on the streets of Manhattan. But this year there’d be no cheer for the widower and his twelve-year-old daughter, Bridget. For New York City had taken Christy’s only son, headstrong sixteen-year-old Danny, who’d run off without a trace.Librarian Catherine Tierney used to … used to love the holidays: the lights, the carols, the nip in the air. But after her husband’s death on Christmas Eve three years ago, the festivities seemed to start too early and last too long. Just before he died, Brian told his wife that he’d never leave her, that every Christmas he’d send Catherine a sign. On the quaint Chelsea street where she lives, Catherine will meet the tree seller from Novia Scotia. Both figured the world had forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. But they hadn’t counted on finding each other, on fate, on second chances. . . and on a holiday gift of new love and new hope to last a lifetime.

love this story
It’s been a long time since reading this book. The only thing I remember about it is it made me want to read more of this author’s books.
Absolutely love it didn’t want to put it down want to cry about the things that happened
A good Christmas story
I loved this book and the movie that was made from it. Luanne Rice always puts out a good book.
This is a must read. This has inspired me to “look up” when in NYC because you never know what you would otherwise miss.
I can only say that I have read most of her books and enjoyed each one.
This was a great story. I strongly recommend this book.
