The Santa Suit

From Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of Hello, Summer, comes a novella about Christmas magic and second chances.

Newly divorced Ivy Perkins buys an old farmhouse called The Four Roses, seeking a fresh start. The house is a project, filled with leftover furniture and clutter that demands her time.

In a closet, Ivy discovers a beautifully made, decades-old Santa suit. Inside its pocket, she finds a note from a little girl wishing for her father to return from war. This sparks Ivy’s mission: uncover who wrote the note, whether the father came home, and the secrets of the Rose family.

Her search draws her into the community she wanted to avoid. But Christmas magic works wonders—bringing Ivy a welcoming town, a reunited family, a solved mystery, and a second chance at love.
