'A Beacon Hill Thanksgiving' and 'Home for Christmas'--
Double The Holiday Fun/ Two Reads in One--
--Book One: 'A Beacon Hill Thanksgiving'-- On her own for the holiday, Paulina Prescott is invited to Thanksgiving by the professor of her writing class. Gasping at the beauty of the autumn-laced trees dropping their leaves upon the cobblestone street, Paulina takes in the holiday scene she is about to enter. Rows of buildings out of a movie surrounding her. Thoughts of a table filled with holiday foods tempt her to step inside. The complication for Paulina, as she joins her professor and his family, is that she has a crush on him. Wrestling with the invite she feels she accepted inappropriately, Paulina finds herself drawn into the Perfect Hallmark Family she suddenly longs to be part of--even when their secrets and behavior prove them anything but perfect...

These are the thoughts that accompany Paulina on the Plymouth & Brockton Bus from Boston down to Hyannis. Cape Cod. Where she has accepted a second invitation. This one to spend Christmas with her professor's family. A decision about to change her life forever...
