The Christmas Locket

The Christmas Locket

A heartwarming small-town Christmas romance about second chances, friendship, and the courage to start over. When Carol Nelson returns to snowy Wayland, Wisconsin, to settle her mother’s estate, she expects a quick visit—not a season of unraveling secrets, rediscovering home, and confronting the past she tried to outrun. With her two best friends unexpectedly moving in for the holidays and her childhood house suddenly overflowing with memories, Carol must navigate grief, friendship, and a mysterious box of her mother’s unfinished craft projects. Then Jacob Wilson appears—the boy she once loved, now a steady, quietly handsome small-town lawyer determined to help her piece together a tangled estate…and maybe mend what was lost between them. As Christmas approaches, Carol uncovers long-buried truths about her family, the Friendship Group her mother cherished, and the life she might still claim if she’s brave enough to stay. Filled with cozy winter nights, community warmth, emotional healing, and sparkling holiday charm, The Christmas Locket is a feel-good women’s fiction romance perfect for fans of small-town Christmas stories, second-chance love, found family, and heart-tugging seasonal reads.
