Three sisters: Dahlia, Magnolia and Rose are summoned by their Aunt Sassy to a childhood favorite place: Juniper Inn in Colorado from their homes. Dahlia is from Minneapolis, Magnolia lives in Florida and Rose is from Savannah. They haven't connected in years with their busy schedules and haven't been to the Inn since their mother cut ties with her sister years ago. It's Christmas and the sisters cleared their calendars to get together without their other halves to make time for each other and bring back wonderful childhood memories. The book addresses issues with relationships in the family and was very predictable with romantic fluff. But so what. It's a nice change from many other intense novels -- easy to read, cozy, seasonal book that makes you drift into La La Land.

A warm and cozy Christmas read about three sisters who return to their Aunt Sassy's Colorado-based Juniper Inn for the holidays after fifteen years without connecting with their aunt.

The sisters, all named after flowers, bring their issues with them - Dahlia, newly divorced, is spending Christmas without her young children who are in France with their father; Rose is about to be married and having second thoughts about her fiancé and his family; Magnolia is dealing with infertility which has strained her relationship with her husband. Two attractive young local men are also invited by Aunt Sassy to assist the sisters in setting up the Inn's traditional Christmas Extravaganza.

Checks the boxes if you're looking for a Christmas-time family story with a bit of a mystery (Why are two sisters estranged? Why are the girls invited back to visit after fifteen years? What is the relationship between Aunt Sassy and Colt, a young man who has grown up at the Juniper Inn? Will the sisters resolve their issues and listen to their hearts?) A feel-good story with a happy ever after ending. ( )
