What a precious story. Sweet Christmas read. Loved how the music box ties the pieces of the past, present, and future together. It's a novella, so it will be great for an afternoon escape with coffee and chocolate. Maybe some music box Christmas tunes playing in the background.

I was thrilled to find out Ashley Clark had a Christmas novella coming out with the main characters from Where the Last Rose Blooms, which came out earlier this year. At just under 100 pages, it was a quick read but packed an emotional punch. I definitely had tears in my eyes for the last chapters….and that’s very unusual for me.
We get to see Alice and Sullivan’s love story continue, while meeting James and Kit who fell in love during WWII. Through the story of a mysterious music box, connections are made and hearts are filled.
Thank you Ashley Clark for sending me a copy of your beautiful novella!

If you've read Where the Last Rose Blooms, don't miss this sweet Christmas novella featuring Alice and her boyfriend--and a glimpse into the past. I definitely didn't see that ending coming! And I loved the fact that Millie (everyone's favorite!) appeared in this book, too.

A fun holiday visit with much loved characters from Ashley’s Heirloom Secrets series. I enjoyed catching up with Alice and Harper and Millie and meeting some new characters while solving an old family mystery of Alice’s. A sweet easy read perfect for Christmas Eve as a reward for finishing wrapping all my family’s presents!

I really liked this sweet novella as a companion to Where The Last Rose Blooms.
We get to go back with Alice and Sullivan. In this story, Alice finds a music box that has a song she recognizes as one her mother sang to her. Inside she finds a secret that will have her searching for what will bring a great gift in her life.
I like the found family that Alice finds which is the other story of James and Kit in WW2.
I really like the way that Alice and Sullivan support each other in their dreams and in their realities. Because they are the same but sometimes different.
The book ends in a very sweet way too.
