A Nantucket shopkeeper discovers that Christmas is the perfect occasion to make unexpected friendships . . . to warm the coldest of hearts--and maybe even find love. Christina Antonioni is preparing for the holidays at her Nantucket toy shop, unpacking last-minute shipments and decorating for her loyal Christmas shoppers. But when her Scrooge of a landlord, Oscar Bittlesman, raises her rent, it seems nearly impossible for Christina to continue business on the wharf. Even so, Christina hopes there is a warm heart underneath Oscar's steely exterior. When she bonds with Wink, his sweet, young granddaughter who frequents the shop, it becomes clear that perhaps he isn't so cold after all. And with the help of Wink's uncle, who happens to be a charming and very handsome bachelor, this may be the best Christmas any of them could have ever imagined. Nancy Thayer's enchanting Nantucket setting provides the perfect backdrop for this holiday love story.
A sweet story to get you into the Christmas spirit.

I have always wanted to go to Nantucket, so reading about what they do to celebrate on the Island was a real treat. It was also uplifting, expressing how people really can change for the better. It also spoke of friendships and community helping one another. The only negative was the mention way too many times of IC, which stood for the Inner Christina which was what she was thinking inwardly. That part actually drove me crazy but not enough to stop reading. Except for that one thing I would still highly recommend the book.
