From USA TODAY bestselling author Curtiss Ann Matlock comes a warmhearted human comedy of love, loss, and second chances. Christmas comes to Valentine, and everyone has a secret desire... Almost-thirteen-year-old Corrine Pendley longs to grow up and be the young woman she sees in the mirror, to experience a real kiss from her first boyfriend, and, if only, a horse of her very own, right there in her happy life. She does not want her mother to come to town and spoil it all. To come and possibly take everything away. But Anita Pendley, a woman with an unsettled heart and past, determines to throw herself into a second chance with the daughter she left behind, and she will brave the loss of her fiancé and challenge her sister Marilee to do so. For her part, Mariliee is determined to protect the young girl who has become her daughter, as well all those around her who are her own. Even in the not-so-sleepy town of Valentine, Oklahoma life has its struggles and heartache, but this is Christmas, after all, the season where both unexpected love and bright miracles can happen, and in Valentine they usually do. "...a Bradburyesque vision, with drugstore soda fountains, old-timey radio shows filling the airwaves, and a cast of characters who wouldn't be out of place in Lake Wobegon. Matlock conjures a sweet spell accented by tart drama, as refreshing and delightful as lemony sweet tea." Publishers Weekly, on Chin Up, Honey
