The Twelve Visits of Christmas

By Michelle Lynn Brown

Twelve families in need, two friends with a heart to serve, and a love struggling to surface.

Colette Hillard and Elliott Ashcroft have been friends for over three years – and each is harboring a secret fondness for the other.

Elliot hasn't dated anyone for two years – but that isn't enough evidence to convince Colette he has feelings for her. She hangs back and waits, hopes, and prays for something to happen.

It's been three years since Colette's husband died serving his country, and despite her inviting smiles, Elliot refuses to ask her out. He hesitates, wondering if, and when, there will ever be a chance at a new beginning for either of them.

Then Colette leads a new Christmas program at their church to bless needy families in the community with dinner and gifts. Individuals will pair up and visit the twelve homes on their list – each visit representing a different story. Before he can second guess himself, Elliot asks Colette to be his partner.

As Elliot and Colette discover a wealth of emotions along their twelve visits, will love be among them?

Michelle Lynn Brown

Best-selling author, Michelle Lynn Brown is a housewife, mother of three, writer, blogger, hopeless romantic, and a cuddly lap for one very large cat. She was born in Dayton, Ohio, but raised in El Paso, Texas. The Lord has blessed her with the opportunity to live in many locations, from Germany to Oklahoma, where she now resides. When she was a teenager, her mother used to take her to used books stores at least once a month. It was there she fell in love with the written word. As a writer, she uses this passion to share with others the joy of having a personal and intimate relationship with Christ. Like the flawed characters that grace her books, she has had many stumbles and struggles in her life. God's grace and mercy through these trials have kept her on her knees. It is from this humble position that she seeks to minister through her writing - not as someone who has it all figured out, but just someone who has figured out how wonderful and awesome God is.
