The Present by Toni Sheridan
What does a girl do with a Christmas present that’s too good to be true?

This
year’s Christmas is worse than ever. Candice Cane-Bryant (don’t call her
Candy Cane) is stressed by her job, exhausted in her role as surrogate
parent to her three younger siblings, and angry with her carefree adult
sister, Jane. And all of that has her feeling guilty for not
appreciating God’s gift of keeping her family together.

When
Jane brings home another new guy, one more weight is added to Candice’s
oversized burden. She’s lonely and wants a man to love. Not just any
man—she’s in love with Dean Harlowe, Jane’s boyfriend, and no matter
what she does, her feelings for him won’t go away. But this year, Jane
has a present for her sister, and when Candice unwraps this one,
Christmas will never be the same.
