About the Book

When Linnea learns of an impending winter storm stranding a ship, she quickly devises a plan to bring the island together. Much to her surprise her compassion evokes holiday magic!

This story was inspired by a community of islanders from Menemsha, Martha’s Vineyard who braved high running tides and the winter elements to bring Christmas cheer to a vessel from Europe which was stranded over the holidays in the harbor. It’s a heartwarming tale of true islander spirit and kindness!
