The characters are warm and caring, but also ready to fight for their town. Neither Mike nor her boss is making it easy for her. Vanessa starts having warm feelings for the town folk and is determined to find a solution to benefit both her company and Porters. To say, she was met with opposition from the townspeople, especially from Mike Marshall whose grandfather had started the company. But Porter’s has been run by the same family and employed much of the townspeople decades. And she has a deadline! Arriving just before Thanksgiving, she has until Christmas to shut down the town’s claim to fame, Porter’s Fruitcake factory, and turn the space into a warehouse.

When Vanessa gets her next assignment, she finds instead of heading off to Paris, she is driving to Fraser Hills, North Carolina to clean up a mess left by the guy she is replacing. Nancy Naigle’s, A Heartfelt Christmas Promise, delivers that and more. Book Blurb and Cover Photo from Goodreads My ReviewĬhristmas always brings feelings of warmth, hope, home, and togetherness.

Fraser Hills is a town she is growing to love-and Mike is someone she is falling in love with. With Mike as her guide, she learns to appreciate the simple pleasures found in shared holiday festivities among friends. News of the factory’s closing means losing another piece of the town’s legacy.įar from the skyscrapers and rapid pace of the city, Vanessa finds herself enjoying the easygoing rhythms of rural living. And as a widower raising a teenage daughter, he’s suffered enough losses in one lifetime.

A horse farmer, Mike was never involved with his grandfather’s company, but still felt Fraser Hills lost part of its identity.

Offering retirement packages and selling locals on new job opportunities may not spread holiday cheer, but Vanessa believes she’s helping secure the town’s future.
