A Christmas Duet

By: Debbie Macomber

Narrated by: Andi Arndt

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A solo holiday trip inspires one woman to rediscover her passion—and remember that, sometimes, duets are more fun—in this romantic Christmas novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

“A perfectly delicious Christmas bonbon of a novel.”—Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of The Santa Suit and Bright Lights, Big Christmas

Hailey Morgan’s life has always revolved around music. She once had big dreams of becoming a professional songwriter, but the reality of life has led her to working as an assistant high school band teacher in Portland. As the holidays approach, Hailey dreads the annual tradition of spending Christmas with her family and dodging her mother’s meddling questions about her love life.

When Hailey’s close friend offers her the use of her family’s empty cabin for a rejuvenating solo holiday retreat, Hailey finally decides to do something to make herself happy. However, her arrival in the small town of Podunk, Oregon, is anything but peaceful when she discovers the cabin has been invaded by several wild animals. Luckily, Jay, the son of the town’s main store proprietor—and an incredibly handsome and charming former musician to boot—is more than willing to help.

Soon Hailey and Jay are nearly inseparable, chopping down and decorating a Christmas tree, sipping hot cocoa in front of a cozy fire, and best of all, playing music together. Jay’s positive feedback and encouragement inspire Hailey to believe she might succeed as a songwriter after all. But even in her snow-dusted oasis, family holiday drama still finds Hailey, interrupting and threatening her newfound peace and confidence. Meanwhile revelations from Jay present complications of their own. Suddenly her Christmas paradise has become a winter storm and Hailey must weather through the challenges to stand up for herself and embrace the holiday spirit.

Fun story

I want to live in this little living and friendly town! So sweet and kind.

Excellent Excellent Excellent

I wouldn’t be Christmas without a wonderful Debbie Macomber book! This was the best! Highly recommend!

Haley’s mother ruined it for me!

How you could write a mother like this one Debbie, is beyond my understanding! I loved the story…her breaking away from her domineering mother & meeting a wonderful musician was all great. Her sister’s dyslexia & brainy guy were pure genius & then you ruined it all with Jay becoming a willing pawn in his own and Haley’s mom’s hands. What a wimpy ending! So disappointing.

The wholesomeness of the story.

I like the way Debbie Macomber always makes me feel good when I’m reading her books.

Never Disappointed!

Debbie Macomber never disappoints with her books! The perfect little Christmas story to get the season started!!
