The Christmas shoppe [electronic resource] / Melody Carlson.
Summary:
The small town of Parrish Springs is not ready for Matilda Honeycutt. A strange older woman with scraggly gray hair and jewelry that jangles as she walks, Matilda is certainly not the most likely person to buy the old Barton Building on the town's quaint main street. When it becomes apparent that her new shop doesn't fit the expectations of Parrish Springs residents, a brouhaha erupts. After all, Christmas is approaching, and the last thing the town needs is a junky shop run by someone who looks and acts like a gypsy. But as townsfolk venture into the strange store, they discover that old memories can bring new life and healing.

The residents of a small town learn that things are not always as they appear in this latest Christmas novella (after Christmas at Harrington's) by Romantic Times award winner Carlson. Matilda Honeycutt moves to Parish Springs, but the townsfolk are put off by her unkempt looks and even more so by the junk shop she has opened. Their opinions of both change, however, when folks begin visiting the store and find peace and grace in old memories. VERDICT This heartwarming story should appeal to fans of Richard Paul Evans and Jan Karon.
