The Christmas Spirit by Susan Buchanan **GIVEAWAY*****

Natalie has arrived in the small town of Winstanton, north of Glasgow in order to

caretake “Sugar n Spice” bakery and cafe as its current incumbent is having to have

an operation and recuperate for several weeks. Natalie also has her own secret

agenda- to find four special people. We know nothing more about this than the

one bare fact. She is on her own in the bakery due to the assistant also being off

and so she soon employs Jacob  who despite having wealthy parents is desperate

for a job. He takes to the job like a duck to water and loves the interaction with

the customers. Sophie has a battleaxe boss and comes in for cake and respite.

Stanley Winters is missing his recently deceased wife Edie and is feeling a little

lonely. Rebecca has just split up from Ethan having realised he was never the

man she thought he was and is seeing his true colours, however she is finding

it difficult trying to find somewhere decent to live that she can afford.

This is a story of characters and how little things can mean so much. Of differing

lives that can interact when on the surface they are worlds apart. One to lift

your spirits and believe in the good in people. Most people are kind- it’s just

the few that spoil it for the rest. Go on, smile at someone today- you might

just make their day! :) I smiled , I almost cried.

A poignant , truly wonderful seasonal read.

The Christmas Spirit Christmas is coming, but not everyone is looking forward to it. Rebecca has just been dumped and the prospect of spending the holiday period with
her parents is less than appealing.Eighty- two year old Stanley lost his beloved wife,
Edie, to cancer. How will he cope with his first Christmas without her? Jacob’s
university degree hasn’t helped him get a job, and it looks like he’ll still be signing
on come New Year.Workaholic Meredith would rather spend December 25th at
home alone with a ready meal and a DVD box set. Can anything make her embrace
the spirit of the season?The enigmatic Natalie Hope takes over the reins at the
Sugar and Spice bakery and café in an attempt to spread some festive cheer and
restore Christmas spirit, but will she succeed?
