"You are cordially invited to The Carrington Grand Hotel for an old-fashion 1890s Christmas. This holiday season, warm your heart and escape to the mountain town of Carrington for an uplifting tale of family and forgiveness, ancient secrets and new beginnings, and the Christmas spirit."
~World Nouveau Books
In the tradition of timeless Christmas books like Richard Paul Evans' The Christmas Box, and the moving, uplifting works of Donna VanLiere's The Christmas Shoes and The Christmas Hope, The Saint of Carrington will reach into the hearts of readers at any age and soon have all believing in the true magic of Christmas.
On the Back of the Book
It is December 1899, a time of great promise and industrial adventure, but ever since William Thomas lost his father last year at Christmas, the festive season holds no enchantment and the turn of the century offers no excitement.
When Will stumbles upon his father's secret hiding place and finds tickets for an ocean voyage to take him, his sister, and mother across the Atlantic to a little town in the Swiss Alps, it seems his father is reaching out to him from beyond the grave. The small note attached simply said, 'Save for Christmas.'
But when William sees the time and date of purchase-mere hours before his father's death-he knows he, and his family, must find the courage to take a leap of faith and journey to a secret place called Carrington.
What he doesn't know, is who waits for him on the other side.
What People Are Saying About The Saint of Carrington
"The Saint of Carrington immediately draws the reader in with an evocative and foreboding opening reminiscent of great Victorian literature-from Dickens to Carol, with shades of Defoe-that gently coaxes the reader into the story with dreamlike images and a promise of intrigue. A vivid, intoxicating setting is established, it's material details rendered through splendorous scents and textures.
The narrative maintains a balance between prose and dialogue with skill, taking the time to render the contours of the Carrington Grand Hotel, a character in the novel in its own right, with luxury and grandiloquence.
Carrington's themes of hope and healing infused with mystery and adventure will be immensely appealing to the mainstream readership who enjoy a great holiday read.
The Saint of Carrington is a novel that charms, entertains, and above all, profoundly resonates with its intended audience."
