The Christmas Wedding

The tree is decorated, the cookies are baked, and the packages are wrapped, but the biggest celebration this Christmas is Gaby Summerhill's wedding. Since her husband died three years ago, Gaby's four children have drifted apart, each consumed by the turbulence of their own lives. They haven't celebrated Christmas together since their father's death, but when Gaby announces that she's getting married--and that the groom will remain a secret until the wedding day--she may finally be able to bring them home for the holidays.
But the wedding isn't Gaby's only surprise--she has one more gift for her children, and it could change all their lives forever. With deeply affecting characters and the emotional twists of a James Patterson thriller, The Christmas Wedding is a fresh look at family and the magic of the season.
"ONLY TWENTY-FOUR DAYS until Christmas, and this Christmas is going to be one you won’t forget. Need proof? I think I can give you proof. I want all four of you to take a good, long look at the screen and your mom. Everybody watching? Emily? Claire? Seth? Lizzie? Emily? You see anything unusual or, well, kind of stunning? Okay. Let me turn around for you...Turning...Turning again. Yes. Your eyes tell the truth. I have lost twelve pounds and several ounces."
