an island a stone's skip away from Cape Light... Liza Martin
arrives on Angel Island eager to sell off the rundown inn she

marriage. Angel Island is just one more burden... But as Liza
recalls the golden summers of her childhood, she begins to
second-guess herself. And she wants to know more about Daniel
Merritt, the charming handyman who's helping repair the inn, but
Liza doesn't have time for romance...or much else. Sometimes Liza

soul...
A Christmas light shines bright in the midst of the darkest winter.
With Christmas only a few weeks away, Sam and Jessica Morgan look
forward to celebrating the joyous day together. But when they're
awakened by the smoke alarm in the midst of one quiet night, they
barely make it outside before their beloved house is engulfed in
flames. Meanwhile, single mom Julie Newton and her seven-year-old
daughter appear on Jack Sawyer's doorstep, thanks to bad weather, a
broken-down car, and a dead cell phone battery. And though Jack,
still mourning the loss of his wife, feels none of the holiday
spirit, he can't turn them away. As Sam and Jessica become
perpetual guests in others' homes, trying to piece their future
back together, and Jack finds his frozen heart melting day by day,
it soon becomes clearer than ever that miracles can happen even in
the humblest of settings.

lost, delivering them from despair and darkness into the golden
light of love and faith."
Claire North understands how Angel Island sets the rhythm for her
own serenity and ease. But a visitor has disturbed her peaceful
heart. She knew him as a troubled boy who came to her soup kitchen
in Boston, full of half-truths but brimming with trust. She wasn't
able to say good-bye to him then. Now, miraculously, a second
chance to help him has come.
Jamie Carter, now a young man, is more in need of Claire's wisdom
than ever. But when she suspects he is back to his old ways, her
faith is truly put to the test...

street. But Avery is determined to show this burger-flipping hero a
real cook has arrived. If only Mike's charming smile didn't make
her forget that he is her fiercest competitor.

past... As Cape Light dwellers get ready to deck the halls for a
Christmas to remember, curmudgeonly Lillian Warwick is confined to
bed, injured after a nasty fall. Cared for by her daughters, Emily
and Jessica, she lets her thoughts drift back to the holiday season

would become her husband. Recounting those romantic early days, she

life-altering season, there just might be a winter wedding on the
horizon.

Cape Light.
As the spirit of the season is spreading through the rustic
seaside hamlet of Cape Light, town mayor Emily receives an
unexpected and precious Christmas gift: a baby girl tucked away in
a decorative cradle set up outside the church, with a note begging
whoever discovers the child to take care of her. Emily is granted
temporary custody-and realizes that if the mother is not found, she
desperately wants to keep baby Jane as her own. Now, in the midst
of the year's most joyous season, Emily must come to terms with her
duty to her family, her own feelings of regret and loss-and what
her heart truly desires.

Cameron, a minister who runs a mission in Central America, has
decided to spend the holidays in Cape Light. But when his car
collides with another car, a hint of trouble befalls this
close-knit community. No one is hurt, but out-of-towner Leigh
Baxter is forced to stay in town until her car is fixed. What she
doesn't expect, however, is that the charm of this beautiful
seaside hamlet and its citizens will soon win her over-and that she
will fall in love with James, who has so generously welcomed her
into his life. But will James accept Leigh in his heart once her
dark secrets come to light? In the meantime, Jessica and Sam
Morgan's relationship is put to the test. More than anything else
this Christmas, they want a baby to call their own. But soon
they'll discover that life's most precious gifts often come in
unexpected packages...
In this book, Katherine Spencer examines Navaho cultural values by
studying a specific subset of Navaho mythology: chantway myths,
part of ceremonies performed to cure illness. She begins with a
summary of the general plot construction of chantway myths and the

elements" inserted by the narrators of the myths. She continues
with a deeper analysis of the cultural value judgements conveyed by
these myths. At the end of the book, Spencer includes abstracts of
the myths she discusses.
