Every storefront in Park Place has been spruced up for the holidays and everyone in town has the Christmas spirit. Everyone, that is, except Agatha O’Malley who lives in the large Victorian house at the end of Main Street. The death of her husband, Charlie, two years earlier, has caused a bah-humbug feeling every Christmas since. Opening a Bed and Breakfast will help ease the financial burden of keeping up her grand old home, but can Agatha shake the blues long enough to show her guests the kind of Christmas magic that has always played out in this splendid old house?

Ah, it seems her guests are working their own magic to bring a little humor, mystery, and quite possibly a second-chance romance back into Agatha’s life in this cozy Christmas story.
