THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

Leigh Cathcart became a believer when her college sweetheart's marriage proposal arrived with her Christmas mail delivered by a Santa Claus look-alike--about two decades after it had been sent.

Celebrating Christmas at the Briarcliff, Leigh was caught up in the gala holiday wedding of her daughter. And then, on Christmas Eve, an unexpected guest joined the festivities.

Suddenly, Leigh felt breathless, a little giddy. Was it the ageless charm of the North Carolina inn ... the snow falling softly on Briarcliff Mountain ... or the unsettling presence of her first love?

The magic of the season was seductive ... and so were Russ Thornton's eyes. But suddenly, Leigh felt threatened--would Russ discover the secret she'd been guarding within her heart for twenty years?

Finally got round to reading this one. It's a nice story in which a little stupidity and fate played a part of separately a couple of lovers for over 2 decades. Well, the lessons to be learnt from this book is that if you are proposing, don't do it by mail. They are totally unreliable when you need them to be. Don't trust courier either, see what happened to Tom Hanks in Castaway. And finally, never ask a person to meet you someplace if his/her answer is "YES" because something always happens to make him/her unable to turn up somehow.
