Holly and Ivy
Holly and Ivy | Fern Michaels
19 posts | 13 read | 7 to read
In a heartwarming novel of secret wishes and family lost and found, acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels creates a timeless Christmas story to cherish . . . The flames of memory always seem to glow a little brighter during the holidays. Perhaps thats why this time of year is so difficult for airline heiress Ivy Macintosh, as she faces thoughts of yet another festive season alone. Since the plane crash that claimed the lives of her husband and two children eight years ago, shes been submerged in grief. When eleven-year-old Holly Greenwood knocks on her door, lost and frightened after a forbidden visit to her singing teacher, Ivys self-imposed exile is shattered. Holly has an extraordinary voice, and wants nothing more than to perform in an upcoming Christmas musical. Hollys father, Daniel, doesnt allow music in their home, refusing to give a good reason whyjust as he refuses to talk about Hollys mother. Ivy has no idea how closely she and Daniel are linked by their tragic pasts, yet shes drawn to the warmth she senses beneath his gruff exterior. And as Christmas nears, their shared concern for Holly begins to draw Ivy back into the world again . . . and toward a family who may need her just as much as she needs them . . .

An interesting way for the couple to meet. I had a hard time believing Daniel could turn from a harsh father to a gentle loving one overnight 🤷🏻‍♀️. However, I loved the cute meet of Holly and Ivy. Both families lost loved ones in a tragic accident and could not heal for 8 years. As both adults begin to awake to life around them, they find each other. The bet character is Holly.

Done! As I said before, not a cheery Christmas story, but definitely worth reading! When it started, I wasn‘t sure how it was going to go, but it was a three-tissue tear-jerker in the end. I will be thinking on it for quite a while. #162 #DS #BookSpinBingo #BFC21 #NewYearSpecial #20in4 #CSReadathon #RIF #ChristmasMyWay #Wintercosy #AVeryMerryReadathon #WG2021 #MistletoeManiacs

A bit disappointed as it was not Christmas-y enough for me. Except for the last couple of chapters, the entire book is set during fall before Thanksgiving, and the book just didn‘t have that Christmas feel. The story was heartwarming and all, I just thought there would be more Christmas!

TheAromaofBooks I read one earlier this month that was that way... not bad, just not Christmasy?? I need more than just the grand finale to be set at Christmas to actually feel like a holiday read!! 3y

Just finished this. I liked it. Thought it was very heartwarming even though it had a sad start. It‘s all about learning how to let go and move forward after a loss.

I found this a bit slow to get going, but once it did I really enjoyed it. I think it would make a great Hallmark movie! #christmasread

A bit coincidental in the plotting & few oddly worded sentences but an enjoyable read. It was my first Fern Michaels & I can see why she is a best seller. #romantsy 🎄🎄🎄🎄#christmasread

GA_Bookworm07 I saw the cover while in walmart a while back and added it to my list. So you would recommend this? 7y
Christy2318 @AvidBookWorm02 Yes I really enjoyed it. 7y

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The book started out strong, but petered out towards the end.
