You will celebrate Christmas in the rustic countryside of Woodlands: feel Mattie's struggles in her quest to build her dream home, be drawn to the treats, the delights of Miss Bailey's Cold Supper Shop, and see tourists through the eyes of an innkeeper. Adults and teens will enjoy reading this treasure trove of stories celebrating ordinary happenings around ordinary people with an extraordinary legacy.
