During their annual Christmas celebrations, a Nantucket family faces surprising news and unexpected decisions in this warm and inviting holiday novel by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer.

The Nantucket Christmas Stroll is the most wonderful time of year on the island, filled with holiday cheer and festive decorations. Excited holidaymakers crowd the streets, Santa arrives on a Coast Guard boat, carolers serenade with classic Christmas carols, and shop windows glitter with treasures, twinkling lights, and merry displays.

At the heart of this celebration is the Parsons family and the sparkling house party they host each year. Brick Parsons and his wife, Jane, eagerly anticipate the arrival of their three adult children, Lydia, Florence, and Lucas, who are all coming home for the holidays.

Lydia, a successful hospitality professional, is torn between her career in New York and her new relationship with her uber-wealthy cosmopolitan boyfriend. Florie, the ambitious middle child, is madly in love with a handsome poet who wants her to move to his hometown in Wisconsin. Lucas, the golden boy, has decided to switch his career path, and is fearful of his father's reaction.

Together, the family celebrates the Stroll, reuniting with old friends and lovers on the tree-lit Main Street. But the holiday cheer is soon overshadowed by the stress of the season as secrets are revealed and emotions run high.

Champagne flows and Christmas-themed canapes are enjoyed as the Parsons family come together on the night of the party, proving that family and the power of love can make any season bright.

  ✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for TOGETHER IS WHERE WE BELONG by Harper Faith! Grab it in KU! At eighteen, I left Haven Valley with Leo Courtright’s final words ringing in my ears. I hate you. I swore I’d never come back to the small town—or the boy—I’d left behind. But when the man stalking me gets too close, I run to the only place that’s ever felt safe. Home. Coming back meant seeing the blue-eyed boy who was once my entire world. Only Leo isn’t a boy anymore. He’s colder. Harder. And he still looks at me like I wrecked his life. Returning home also means revealing the secret I’ve kept for eight years. He has Leo’s eyes. His inquisitive nature. And he can’t wait to meet his dad. When Leo shows up at my front door to welcome his new neighbor, the second his gaze lands on the little boy behind me, everything changes. The man who swore he hates me is suddenly everywhere—fixing broken porch steps, watching over us, asking questions I can’t answer without risking the fragile l...
