Light a Christmas Candle

By Regina Andrews

What are the chances that accidentally knocking over someone' s trash cans on a dark street would lead to a new lease on life?

Moving to Chestnut Crossings is Lucy Carrington s only chance to live her Christian beliefs free from ridicule. But when she runs over the church trash cans, her new beginning gets off to a rocky start. Thankfully, the pastor is as forgiving as he is handsome.

Pastor Jim Sullivan is impressed by Lucy. She's a woman of her word and doesn't seem to take the easy way out. But when he offers her a job, he soon discovers her quirks---she's always late, embraces as a blessing something he views as a curse, and is hiding something about her past...not that Jim should judge. He has issues of his own he'd like to keep hidden.

When Pastor Jim asks Lucy to sing at the Christmas pageant, she's faced with a difficult and emotional decision.

Will singing free her heart from painful family memories... and inspire Jim to forgive himself, too?

In Light a Christmas Candle, discover a holiday season filled with challenges, forgiveness, love and restoration.
