Sylvie left home twelve years ago and only came home after her mother died. She and her sister, Nancy, had a rocky relationship from the day she returned, mostly because Nancy had no idea why she’d left and never returned home during the ensuing years. The only reason she came home now is that her mother left her their family home – the Sugarplum House – and her plan was to take care of the paperwork, sell the house, and leave. But her mother had put a caveat in her will – Sylvie will only inherit the house if she opens it for the yearly Christmas Legacy Walk. If she chooses not to participate, the house will be left for the historical society.
Is it possible to even try to open the house for the town event? The house needs a lot of work before it can be approved for use, and they only have three weeks! When all of the townspeople band together to help, Sylvie realizes that she may be able to have the house pass the building codes in a mere 21 days. But the big questions remain – will she decide to stay after Christmas, will she be able to repair her relationship with her sister, and how will the two sisters react when they learn their mother’s long-kept secrets and the real reason that she wanted Sugarplum House to stay open?
This story is full of love and friendship and Christmas joy. It’s a reminder of the importance of friends and family in our lives not only during the Christmas season but all year long.
