“Snowed in for Christmas” by Sarah Morgan is one of the library’s newest holiday novels. This Christmas the Miller siblings: Ross, Alice, and Clemmie have one goal – to avoid their family’s endless stream of prying questions. Then Lucy Clarke appears on their doorstep. She came to deliver a business proposal to Ross, but instead she is mistaken for his girlfriend. By the time the confusion is cleared up they are snowed in. Tensions bubble to the surface and Lucy finds herself facing a big family fallout with a family that isn’t hers. The audio is available in Hoopla.
