"Delightful holiday romance"
One year ago, Nova Scotia's Christmas farmer widower
Christopher Byrne took his two children with him to sell
trees in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. Chris and his
sixteen years old son got into a fight over the teen's
future and soon the police arrive to take the older Byrne
away. Danny vanished and has not been seen since and
Chris regrets his actions ever since. Widow Catherine Tierney works at the private library of
the Reinbeck Corporation. She has seen Chris sell his
trees for years and saw last year's fight. She and her
pal Lizzie have tried to help Danny who they call Harry
for Houdini. A vanished teen and his distraught younger
sister play matchmaker as
the big city
woman and the rural
farmer fall in love, but it will take a miracle for this
foursome to find peace on earth. SILVER BELLS is a delightful holiday romance starring an
ensemble of characters who will make readers believe in
the miracle of Chelsea. The story line contains the
serious elements of a runaway teen and the homeless yet
manages to uplift the audience with its caring cast.
Readers will quote Al Michaels "do you believe in
miracles?" with an astounding yes when it comes to Luanne
Rice. Harriet Klausner
