Holidays on a Mountain - Jacque Jacobs

. .

Résumé :
Nestled in her 120 year old ancestral home in an isolated community in the Great Smoky Mountains, Bella Anderson is seeking peace, quiet, and time to write. In this, the sixth book in the Love is a Cabin series, yet more shocking forces impact Bella and send her life into a tailspin. Trying to make sense of the mysterious events, Bella shares her observation on these life-altering tragedies with Chad Oliver, the local sheriff; On any day, at any moment, someone determined to alter someone else's life can act. And, albeit my experience is limited on out-of-the-ordinary events, I read enough to know that most of the time people do heinous acts with very little planning. Can Bella keep the latest destructive intrusions from influencing a final decision to live permanently in her beloved mountains? What will the holiday season hold for her? Holidays on a Mountain is the final book in this mountain series about love, life, mystery, and loss in a place where people take care of each other...except for when they don't.
