Bright Lights, Big Christmas: A Novel

"Cozy up with Santa's favorite novelist"* - New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews - and celebrate the season of love and second chances.

"Nobody does Christmas like Mary Kay Andrews." --Debbie Macomber

When fall rolls around, it's time for Kerry Tolliver to leave her family's Christmas tree farm in the mountains of North Carolina for the wilds of New York City to help her gruff older brother & his dog, Queenie, sell the trees at the family stand on a corner in Greenwich Village. Sharing a tiny vintage camper and experiencing Manhattan for the first time, Kerry's ready to try to carve out a new corner for herself.

In the weeks leading into Christmas, Kerry quickly becomes close with the charming neighbors who live near their stand. When an elderly neighbor goes missing, Kerry will need to combine her country know-how with her newly acquired New York knowledge to protect the new friends she's come to think of as family,

And complicating everything is Patrick, a single dad raising his adorable, dragon-loving son Austin on this quirky block. Kerry and Patrick's chemistry is undeniable, but what chance does this holiday romance really have?

Filled with family ties, both rekindled and new, and sparkling with Christmas magic, BRIGHT LIGHTS BIG CITY delivers everything Mary Kay Andrews fans adore, all tied up in a hilarious, romantic gem of a novel.

Kerry meets a quirk...read more
