When the Snow Settled Over Hollyridge
A Christmas Story of Redemption, Memory, and Quiet Miracles
by Todd Hemming

Snow always came late to Hollyridge—but when it finally arrived, it carried more than winter with it.

After years away, Daniel Mercer returns to his hometown following his father’s death, expecting only to pack up a house and leave behind a past he never fully made peace with. What he finds instead is a town that feels smaller, quieter, and dimmer than he remembers. The lights are still strung. The tree still stands in the square. Yet something essential has gone missing.

As Christmas approaches, Daniel discovers an old snow globe tucked away in the attic—one he hasn’t seen since childhood. Inside it rests a perfect miniature of Hollyridge, glowing softly beneath falling snow. At first, it seems like nothing more than a forgotten keepsake. But with every small act of kindness Daniel offers—helping a stranger, listening when it matters, choosing generosity over distance—the town inside the globe grows warmer… brighter.

And so does the real one.

As Daniel reconnects with neighbors, memories, and the man he used to be, Hollyridge begins to change in quiet, meaningful ways. Conversations linger. Doors stay open longer. Music returns to the square. The town remembers something it nearly lost—not because of magic, but because someone chose to begin again.

When the Snow Settled Over Hollyridge is a reflective, heartwarming Christmas novella for adult readers who believe the holidays are about more than decorations and traditions. It is a story about returning home, confronting grief, and rediscovering the power of small kindnesses in a world that often forgets them.

Perfect for fans of cozy Christmas fiction, emotional holiday reads, and stories that linger long after the final page, this book offers a gentle reminder that some miracles don’t arrive with fanfare.

Sometimes, they arrive quietly—
when the snow finally settles,
and someone remembers how to care.
