Christmas at Calloway Ridge

A Fraser fir takes eight years to grow. The Calloways have one season to save the farm.

Meg Calloway left the Blue Ridge Mountains at eighteen and built a careful life in Charlotte, where the numbers always balance and nothing can break her heart. Then her grandmother calls her home for what may be the last Christmas on Calloway Ridge.

Root rot has destroyed two of the family's best fields. The bank note is due in January. A resort developer has offered millions for the land. Meg came to help her family sell.

She didn't count on Wyatt Greer.

The boy she left without a goodbye is now the county's Christmas tree expert, and he believes the farm can be saved. Working beside him on the tree lot and in the wreath shed, Meg starts to remember the girl she used to be. Then a rusted tin turns up beneath an old fence line, holding an engagement ring, a 1962 bus ticket, and a pressed silverbell blossom. It points to a secret her grandmother has guarded for more than sixty years.

By Christmas Eve, the family must vote on the farm's future, and Meg must decide whether some things are worth the risk of staying.

A heartwarming, clean small-town Christmas romance about second chances, family, faith, and the long patience of love.
