Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane

Originally published as The House on Honeysuckle Lane, Mary McDonough's novel is now a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie, Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane. Join Mary as she welcomes readers back to the small town of Oliver's Well, Virginia, in a story of holiday and homecoming, as three siblings gather for a Christmas of unexpected gifts.

Even in a town as picturesque and rich in history as Oliver's Well, there's something special about the Reynolds house on Honeysuckle Lane. Sturdy yet graceful, it's where Andie, Emma, and Daniel Reynolds grew up--before they began to grow apart.

For Danny, this first reunion since their mother's death is a chance for him and his sisters to relive cherished holiday traditions before finally settling their parents' estate. But readying the house for sale proves no easy task when every piece of furniture and every moment together stirs up the past.

Andie, the oldest sibling, didn't just leave home years ago, she left her young daughter too. Though she's found success as a self-help author, coming back shakes her equilibrium. How can she presume to guide others if she can't be honest with those closest to her, much less herself? . . . Middle child Emma struck out on her own instead of accepting her father's offer to share his business. Yet now she finds herself wondering if it's possible to start over.

The house on Honeysuckle Lane contains a lifetime's worth of joys and dreams, and its share of regrets too. This Christmas, it will be the place where Andie, Emma, and Danny come together to remember, laugh, fight, plan--and find their way forward as a family once more.
