*Starred Review* Wright whips up a Christmas story sweeter than the salted-fudge brownies described in her debut novel. Molly is a children's book author looking for inspiration for her next manuscript. Hannah is a young bride-to-be who's dreamed of having a Christmas wedding at the Evergreen Inn, the mainstay of her family's vacations. Jeanne and Tim, the owners of the Evergreen Inn, are uncertain of the inn's future due to the competing Starlight Lodge. As a blizzard blows outside bringing in more unexpected guests these strangers may end up being each others' family for the holidays. Told from multiple perspectives, The White Christmas Inn is a heartwarming story about the magic of Christmas. The Evergreen Inn is as much a character as its guests, and readers will want to book their next holiday trip to this atmospheric location, if only to try all of the delicious food Jeanne cooks up in her kitchen. Wright has written exceptional holiday fiction, and readers will be intrigued to read more from her.--LynnDee Wathen Copyright 2018 Booklist

In her debut, Wright weaves a delight- ful tale of six stranded families thrown together during a whiteout in Vermont. Right before Christmas, Jeanne and Tim are struggling in both their marriage and business as they prepare the Evergreen Inn for what they believe to be a final round of guests before they must close the doors for good. Hannah has come to the inn-along with her best friend, Audrey, and her parents-expecting to get married nearby, only to have her fiancAc call the wedding off the day before. Molly Winslow, a writer experiencing writer's block, arrives hoping to complete her children's book manuscript before a looming deadline. Audrey, who came as a bridesmaid, hopes to see her deployed husband while he is on leave, but the snowstorm prevents him from making it to the hotel. Widower Marcus Andrews has brought his two little girls to the last place they were truly happy before their late mother's passing. As all the guests arrive, the snowstorm sets in quicker and fiercer than expected. Tim and Jeanne's hospitality, creativity, ingenuity, and faith ramp up to make it a vacation the guests didn't know they wanted, but will relish for the rest of their lives. This is a beautiful story about strangers becoming friends during Christmas and having an unexpectedly joyous time. (Oct.) c Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
