Fans of Debbie Macomber and Jojo Moyes will love this warm, funny, moving holiday tale from the New York Times bestselling author of Christmas at the Cupcake Café and Little Beach Street Bakery.

A nip in the air, chiming bells and carolers, and the genial glow of love and family. But for this English village, it’s going to be a Christmas to remember in ways it never expected...

In her comfy cottage nestled in the Derbyshire hills, Rosie Hopkins has good reason to feel a warm blush in her cheeks. With Christmas weeks away, the holiday is being ushered in with England’s first glorious snowfall of the season. Her boyfriend Stephen is starting his new job as a teacher in the village school. Her quaint Sweetshop and Confectionery has been restored to its former glory, and she has a loveable mop of a new puppy named Mr. Dog. Most joyous of all, Rosie and Stephen’s relatives will finally be gathering together in Lipton for what is sure to be a merry feast.

But when a devastating tragedy strikes at the heart of the close-knit town, plans for a cozy Christmas are suddenly in danger of melting away. It’s going to take Rosie’s indomitable spirit, the embrace of family and friends, and the resilient good will of a community to turn it all around and make this a holiday to be thankful for.

Soulful, emotional, uplifting, and complete with recipes for delicious wintry treats, Christmas at Rosie Hopkins’ Sweetshop is a perfect gift for listeners.

My favorite Christmas Book

Excellent Book. It reminds us that others may not see all of our perceived flaws.

Great Christmas Read

I just loved it ! I hope there is a sequel!I really enjoyed the characters and I’d love to see Edison on his feet.

I love Rosie and her friends; I want to live in Lipton !!

I especially like the children. I also love that life in Lipton is not perfect but bittersweet.

Great Christmas read

So much fun to be back with Rosie and all her friends. This was a great Christmas read.

Twists and Turns

Liked the characters, the narrator, the story, the laughs, the tears.
Didn't like Rosie's constant over-extension in relationships. Would have liked to have seen her progress steadily in "back bone" development.
