Hi, y'all. Welcome or welcome back to Gummer to Read. I'm your host, Haley, and I'm so glad to have you here today.

I feel like it is time to start getting into Snowfield Holiday Books. And either your response to that is, yes, my tinsal is up already. You're like, no, no, no, we're waiting until Thanksgiving. But I think that it's time to get into holiday books because so many of my favorite ones include Thanksgiving. And it's just nice to start getting into the holiday spirit now. Plus, it's getting darker earlier. So let us have some joy in whatever form we can get it in. Now, of course, this is a Gilmore Girls bookish podcast. So today's guest wrote a book that I think is absolutely perfect if you were looking for a Gilmore Girls inspired holiday novel. Like truly, this is the one that you should read. And I know a lot of you really loved reading Love Light Farms by B.K. B by b k borrison with us two years ago when we read it for the book club either you had read it

really love about this one is that

beyond the small town, the family struggles feel very familiar. Clara Davenport is from a very wealthy family.

Works for the toy company her family founded, but has a softer touch than all of them.

I think of her is a bit of a Lorelei without a teenage daughter if you found herself in a small town

after having followed more of the plan her

family set out for her. And Jack Kelly, our male main character, is a hot grumbly carpenter

who's everyone's go-to guy in town. I think that he feels like a Luke if Luke's goal was to be the

most dependable guy to every person in his town in Fraser Falls. But let me give you a little bit of

the synopsis of Holiday Ever After if you have not yet read it. Clara Davenport wants to in Fraser Falls. But let me give you a little bit of the synopsis of Holiday

Ever After if you have not yet read it. Clara Davenport wants to solve Fraser Falls' biggest problem.

According to Jack Kelly, Clara is Fraser Falls' biggest problem. All Clara Davenport has ever wanted

to do is climb the ladder at Davenport Innovation Creative, her family's toy business. Everything was

going according to plan until the company was accused
