About this ebook
Mae Taylor and her son Josiah just want to be left alone after the divorce. Their plans to start over are jostled when they move next door to Mr. Tom, a lonely widower and retired school teacher. Together, this unlikely trio finds a second chance at faith, hope and love with help from Gettysburg, cookbooks, an attic secret and two 'Christmas ghosts.'
