This Christmas, escape to the beach... Charlotte Anderson has just experienced her first great success as a young professional in big-city Atlanta. She loves everything about her independent life that includes no room for romance. Then a trip to visit her parents' new home in a charming seaside community in Florida begins to challenge her perspective-on many things. Will her mother's famous Southern cooking, a meddling old woman, a handsome carpenter, and a pair of shoes change her mind about love? Or will a dark secret, that threatens to ruin her family, send Charlotte running back to Atlanta and her life of comfort? You're invited to travel south this holiday season! Trade your coat and the chance of snow for a T-shirt and the ocean breeze with a cozy love story that will have you wishing for your own pair of sandals for Christmas.
