{NEW} A Family Affair- Christmas by Mary Campisi BY ATHESSI13 [EPUB].epub

It's time to head back to Magdalena in this holiday novella...

The town is preparing to celebrate the holidays when a snowstorm hits and threatens to ruin the festivities. But that's not the only threat blowing into town...Pop's son is here from California to enjoy Christmas with his father, but when he leaves, he's taking Pop with him...or is he? Will the town give up the Godfather of Magdalena, or will they show Pop's son that when we open our hearts, anything is possible...even second chances?

NEW FEATURE: Magdalena's growing! People are getting married, having babies, and moving back to town, so I've decided to include a list of characters and their backgrounds--some new faces, some from previous books. You'll find Who's Who in A Family Affair: Fall located right after the dedication.

Bonus Material: If you enjoyed the small-town sense of community and caring in A Family Affair (Truth in Lies Series), you'll experience that same coziness in Simple Riches. There's heartache, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption, all wrapped up and waiting for you. Included in this e-book is the first chapter of Simple Riches, That Second Chance, Book Three. I plan to introduce Simple Riches' "Bad Boy," Michael Androvich and "Good Girl," Elise Pentani to Magdalena, New York in A Family Affair: Winter.
From the Inside Flap
"Wave to him, Uncle Harry." Lily kept her gaze fixed on the star-sprinkled sky. "Hi, Daddy. Can you see us? We're making angels like you showed me. Uncle Harry didn't know how, but I showed him. Can you see the snow? It's crunchy and it tastes so good." She giggled. "Your snow always tasted like peanut butter and jelly, but mine tastes like coconut and Lizzie's tastes like strawberries." She paused and her voice dipped. "And Uncle Harry said his tasted like joy, but I don't know what that tastes like. We're going to make lots and lots of angels because you said there weren't enough on this earth."

Harry squeezed his eyes shut to keep what felt an awful lot like damn tears from slipping out. Lily could make him choke up with a word, a look, hell, a hug could do it, and if he didn't shut it down, the tears would sprout faster than a sprinkler.

"Uncle Harry and Aunt Greta are having a big Christmas Eve party at their house. Uh-huh. Lots of people are coming. I don't think you know all of them, but you do know lots. I'm going to be there, so is Mom, and Nate and Christine." She paused, "And Anna, and Pop and--" She paused a few seconds, then said, "Who else is invited to your Christmas party, Uncle Harry? I want to tell Dad."

"Gina!" Lizzie shouted from a few feet away. "And her husband!"

"Right." Lily's voice filled with excitement. "Gina and Ben Reed and the baby in her belly."

Harry tried to block out the chatter, but part of him wanted to know what she found to say to Charlie. Pop talked to a dead wife, Lily talked to a dead father; did the whole town talk to dead people? Well, he knew one person who didn't. Harry Blacksworth.
