Christmas in Silver Birch Valley

Christmas in Silver Birch Valley is Lorri Moulton's 2018 holiday story, a sweet romance with a thread of gentle fantasy running through it. Jake Logan is a reporter who has travelled widely and never felt at home anywhere. Sent to a small Northwestern town that keeps Christmas the way it was kept a hundred years ago, he finds the whole thing charming and, in the way of reporters, slightly too good to be true.

Lorna Sullivan runs the valley's bed and breakfast. She has watched visitors come for the holidays and leave once they are over, and she is careful about what she lets herself expect. The longer Jake stays, the harder it becomes for either of them to treat this as a passing assignment.

Small towns keep secrets, and Silver Birch Valley is keeping a large one. The book is short, warm and low-conflict, closer to a fireside story than a novel.
