The Christmas Card
The Christmas Card | Dilly Court
18 posts | 3 read
She turned the Christmas card over with her frozen hands, a family gathering at Yuletide. How different it was from her own life. When her father dies leaving Alice and her ailing mother with only his debts, the two grieving women are forced to rely on the begrudging charity of cruel Aunt Jane. Jane tries forcing Alice into a monstrous marriage. When Alice refuses, she is sent to work in a grand house to earn her keep. Alices only ally is Uncle Rory. But when someone tries to destroy her reputation, Alice can only pray for a little of that Christmas spirit to save her from ruin. . .

I missed yesterday's prompt of Christmas Card. We received this one, and I thought it was beautiful.

It's a bit late, but I just finished my Christmas read. It was a sweet, light-hearted romance. It's predictable and you're guaranteed a happy ending, but why else do you read Christmas romances?

Home from Block Leave! We hate saying goodbye to family and that 12 hour drive is the worst, but it is nice being in our home! We came home to LOTS of #BookishMail and all of the beautiful cards!!! ❤🎄😍
