Her son, Nick, is taking a belated honeymoon with his bride, Blair, while her daughter, Dana, will purge every reminder of the guy who dumped her. Again. Julie feels practically giddy for one-on-one holiday time with Heath, the (much) younger man sheās secretly dating.
But her plans go from cozy to chaotic when Nick and Dana plead for Christmas at the family cabin in memory of their late father, Julieās ex. She canāt refuse, even though she dreads their reactions to her new man when they realize sheās been hiding him for months.
As the guest list grows in surprising ways, from Blairās estranged mom to Heathās precocious children, Julieās secret is one of many to be unwrapped. Over this delightfully complicated and very funny Christmas, sheāll discover that more really is merrier, and that a big, happy family can become bigger and happier, if they let go of old hurts and open their hearts to love.
