A Ferry Merry Christmas by Debbie Macomber

A FERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS by Debbie Macomber is a wonderful addition to her collection of gentle romance and holiday stories. In this newly published novel, she introduces Avery and Harrison who meet on a ferry in the middle of Puget Sound. Instead of a quick ride, however, they are stranded for hours due to mechanical issues with the boat. Readers meet other passengers like James, an expectant father anxious to get to his very pregnant wife, and Virginia, an older women estranged from her twin sister. There’s also Beth and Olivia, a mother/young daughter on their way to see Santa Claus. It’s not really a spoiler alert to say that Macomber seems to sprinkle the ferry riders (and even some relatives waiting on land) with romantic pixie dust amidst a delightful holiday spirit. Short (272 pages) and sweet, A FERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS is a perfect holiday read, especially for Macomber’s many fans (over 200 million copies of her books are in print worldwide).
