FROM THE PUBLISHER "In the tradition of timeless Christmas books like Richard Paul Evans' The Christmas Box, and the moving works of Donna VanLiere's The Christmas Shoes and The Christmas Hope, The Saint of Carrington will reach into the hearts of readers at any age and soon have all believing in the true magic of Christmas. So this holiday season, warm your heart, and escape to the mountain town of Carrington for a magical, snow-filled, warm-fire, 1890s style Christmas at The Carrington Grand Hotel that will leave you wanting to return year after year." A Personal Note from the Author After my mom and best friend died just before Christmas, I thought the holidays would always remind me of profound loss and pain. I didn't know it at the time, but I, like the good folk living at The Carrington Grand, had to find a way to let go of what was, before I could embrace what could be. This book is the result of that journey. It has been a gift beyond measure, a true adventure, and a bright star on my darkest nights. I hope The Saint of Carrington touches your heart as much as it has touched mine and my family's. And if perchance you have lost your way, or lost loved ones dear to you as I have, and are facing Christmas without them, it is my sincere hope that this book helps to heal your heart, and allows you to believe again in the miracle of love and the magic of Christmas. Many blessings, Elayne G. James
