Mother of All Christmases

The Most Perfect Christmas Feel-good Read!

Eve Glace - co-owner of the theme park Winterworld - is having a baby and her due date is a perfectly timed 25th December. And she's decided that she and her husband Jacques should renew their wedding vows with all the pomp and Christmas ceremony that was missing from the first time round. But things keep going wrong in Winterworld - is it because the the usually competent site manager Effin Williams has lost his focus, or is there something more sinister going on?

Annie Pandoro and her husband Joe own a small Christmas cracker factory, are well set up and happy together despite life never blessing them with a much-wanted child. But when Annie finds that the changes happening to her body aren't typical of the menopause but pregnancy, her joy is uncontainable.

Palma Collins has agreed to act as a surrogate, hoping the money will give her a helping hand out of the gutter in which she finds herself. But when the couple split up just after she finds out she is pregnant, she is left carrying the baby. Palma is determined to give her child everything she never had growing up, even if it means saying goodbye to her fledgling relationship with Tommy Tanner, an old wild-child schoolfriend, who has turned his life around and is now a champion boxer heading for great heights.

Annie, Palma and Eve all meet at the `Christmas Pudding Club', a new directive started by a forward-thinking young doctor to help mums-to-be mingle and share their pregnancy journeys. Will this group help each other to find love, contentment and peace as Christmas approaches?

The brand new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Perfectly Imperfect Woman; a gorgeous read full of love, life, laughter - and crackers!
