Synopsis
‘A truly heart-warming story … a gorgeous Christmas novel bursting with strength and warmth’ Jill Mansell
'Touching, joyful, brimming with Christmas and community spirit’ Milly Johnson
Jemima Jones is driving home to her family's magical hill-top farm for Christmas…
And on arrival, she soon learns that her dad has been keeping a secret – all is not as it seems, and Hollybush Farm is struggling to make ends meet! Worried about losing the childhood home she loves, Jemima must pull on her winter wellies and get stuck in.
Amid the chaos of chasing after escaping sheep and organising the Christmas tractor run, Jemima begins documenting her slice of farming life on social media. As she builds a supportive online following, she also forms an offline connection in the shape of charming, retired rugby player Llew, her very own Santa's helper.
With a sprinkle of festive cheer and a dash of goodwill, might the community pull together to help save the farm in time for Christmas?
