Welcome to Litsy!

Originally published as The House on Honeysuckle Lane, Mary McDonough�s novel is now a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie, Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane. Join Mary as she welcomes readers back to the small town of Oliver�s Well, Virginia, in a story of holiday and homecoming, as three siblings gather for a Christmas of unexpected gifts. Even in a town as picturesque and rich in history as Oliver�s Well, there�s something special about the Reynolds house on Honeysuckle Lane. Sturdy yet graceful, it�s where Andie, Emma, and Daniel Reynolds grew up�before they began to grow apart. For Danny, this first reunion since their mother�s death is a chance for him and his sisters to relive cherished holiday traditions before finally settling their parents� estate. But readying the house for sale proves no easy task when every piece of furniture and every moment together stirs up the past. Andie, the oldest sibling, didn�t just leave home years ago, she left her young daughter too. Though she�s found success as a self-help author, coming back shakes her equilibrium. How can she presume to guide others if she can�t be honest with those closest to her, much less herself? . . . Middle child Emma struck out on her own instead of accepting her father�s offer to share his business. Yet now she finds herself wondering if it�s possible to start over. The house on Honeysuckle Lane contains a lifetime�s worth of joys and dreams, and its share of regrets too. This Christmas, it will be the place where Andie, Emma, and Danny come together to remember, laugh, fight, plan�and find their way forward as a family once more.
