The irrepressible Malorys are back in a poignant and unforgettable Yuletide tale that will add joy to the season. As the family meets at Haverston to celebrate the holidays all is not well among husbands, wives and longtime lovers. But a mysterious gift arrives that will affect the lives of everyone present: an old journal that chronicles the love affair between Christopher Malory, the first Marquis of Haverston, and a darkly exotic beauty named Anastasia--proving a longheld family suspicion that the Malorys indeed have gypsy blood. In the witty and wonderful story of the blooming of Anna and Christopher's remarkable romance are powerful lessons that will enrich the hearts of their descendants in a glorious season of love and giving. 19990127.
