Christmas is approaching, and Lena Markham finds herself penniless, friendless, and nearly hopeless. She is trying to restart her life after false accusations landed her in prison, but job opportunities are practically nonexistent. When a secondhand red coat unexpectedly lands her a job as Mrs. Santa at a department store, Lena finally thinks her luck is changing. But can she keep her past a secret? This tender story about fresh starts will charm readers as all of Melody Carlson's Christmas offerings do. Full of redemption and true holiday spirit, Christmas at Harrington's will be readers' newest Christmas tradition.

A woman is released from prison after eight long years and decides to start life over in a new town. The story unfolds with Christmas rapidly approaching. There are some plot holes, and well, some things that just don‘t make any sense here….eight years in prison for a first time offense of embezzlement? A woman spends all that time in prison yet doesn‘t seem hardened and shows no ill effects from it?

JoeMo If you can ignore those little annoying details, there‘s a pretty entertaining story here to get swept away by 2w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Tis the season for feel-good plot holes 😂 2w

From the start, I knew this was going to be a wonderful holiday read! A story about starting over and second chances with a holiday twist. It had every element I was looking for in a holiday read to cheer my spirit and get me in the mood. Though there was a couple of sadder elements, they are also what helped to make this story so special. 5⭐

Another fun, quick Christmas read. Falsely convicted Lena Markham tries to start over in a new town after her release from prison, but her felony conviction makes it difficult. She makes some friends and finds a calling, even if it‘s only temporary. She spreads some Christmas cheer. (FYI: This book is definitely Christian fiction.) As someone who is starting over (but not after a prison sentence!), I found this book heartwarming and encouraging.

My teenager is on a #Christmas reading kick and wants company! We‘re starting this one now, but I think I will start another book along with this one. This is a re-read for me.
