Synopsis


"Happy Holidays 2015! It has been a rough year for the Quinns, but I would like to start by saying thank you for all of the well wishes and positive missives sent our way."

A second Christmas on Nantucket finds Winter Street Inn owner Kelley Quinn reflecting on the past year as he writes a holiday letter to friends and family. Though the year has had its share of misfortune and worry, the Quinns have much to celebrate. Kelley, now single, at least is on better terms with his first wife Margaret, who is using her celebrity to lure customers to the inn in record numbers. Their son Kevin has a beautiful new baby, Genevieve, with the Inn's French housekeeper, Isabelle; and their daughter, Ava, is finally dating a nice guy--her devoted colleague, Scott.

Now the Quinns are looking forward to celebrating Genevieve's baptism, welcoming Isabelle to the family, and enjoying the cheer of Nantucket's traditional Christmas Stroll. But just when a peaceful family gathering seems within reach, Kelley's estranged second wife, Mitzi, shows up on the island after souring on her relationship with the inn's former Santa Claus. Soon Kelley isn't the only Quinn entertaining a surprise guest from Christmases past as lovers old and new gather beneath the mistletoe. With jealousy, passion, and eggnog consumption at an all-time high, it's going to take a whole lot more than a Christmas miracle to get the Quinns--and the inn--through the holidays intact.

Follow the Quinn family through the entire Winter Street Series:

About Elin Hilderbrand

Elin Hilderbrand was born and raised in Collegeville, PA, but spent most of her childhood summers playing on Cape Cod. Her father died in a plane crash when she was sixteen years old, so unfortunately that ended the Cape trips. Her summers were now spent working, but she promised herself that for the rest of her life she would always have a real summer. She moved to Nantucket in July 1993, took a job as "the classified ads girl" at a local paper, and later started writing. Elin says she does her best writing while on the beaches of Nantucket or along the beautiful streets of Beacon Hill in Boston. She is a breast cancer survivor and currently lives in Nantucket along with her three beautiful children.

3.5 - All done! I feel like not much really happened during this one. Of course they all leave off on a cliffhanger, so onto the next we go!......more

2.75 - 3 Stars I enjoyed this... ...but I have to say I'm approaching a proverbial "point of no return" with some of these characters. I understand that sometimes people make mistakes and should be given grace. I understand wanting to be happy that sometimes we hurt other people in the quest for said h......more

Goodreads review by Stacey on October 15, 2015

The ending was still abrupt, but not as jarring as Winter Street. I liked the story and am just disappointed at the thought of having to wait another year to find out what happens next. Lots of story lines just dangling there...just like real life.......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on February 04, 2019

I think I liked meeting the characters and feeding my need for drama much more in the first book, but I enjoyed the theme of forgiveness in this one and the very important focus on prescription drug misuse/dependence. Winter Stroll has a few important happenings but mainly felt like a follow up from......more

It has been a year in the life of the Quinn family. Another December in Nantucket is here. So what's new with the characters? Kelley's missing Mitzi. He has not divorced her and when she calls to beg to attend the baptism of Kevin's new daughter, Genevieve, he can't say no to her. It seems thi......more
