Can love bloom where grief has taken root?
After tragically losing his wife, Matthew Dawson is barely holding it together, let alone ready for Christmas. His greatest concern is his three-year-old daughter, Emma, who’s quietly grieving, too. Desperate for help, he hires Hannah Collins, a British-trained nanny with a heart for healing, and a secret tie to Emma’s school.
Hannah brings warmth to their home, but as Matt retreats to the oak tree he planted in Natalie’s memory, Hannah senses his pain. A Thanksgiving trip to the Texas Hill Country sparks joy in Emma...and something deeper between Hannah and Matt. Yet when their bond crosses the line, Hannah steps back, leaving Matt angrier and lonelier than ever.
Then, beneath the oak tree, purple crocuses bloom impossibly early—a sign of rebirth, hope, and new beginnings. This Christmas, God is writing a story of healing, love, and second chances neither of them saw coming.

I have enjoyed many lovely stories by author Carol James and Crocuses for Christmas was no exception. I loved this sweet, gentle tale of hope and redemption. The author has a beautiful way with words, but it’s more than that. She has a way of drawing her reader into the lives of her characters and making their story a part of the reader’s story long after the last page is turned. I loved Hannah’s servant’s heart and Matthew’s quiet determination to go on, for the sake of his daughter, in the face of a horrific tragedy. The theme of crocuses made this story extra special to me, as I have also experienced the comfort of early - blooming crocuses following devastating loss. Crocuses for Christmas is not just a beautiful love story, but a story of God’s beautiful, amazing grace. I highly recommend it!
Crocuses for Christmas is the kind of Christmas read you will want to savour, enjoying slowly with a warm cup of tea. As always, James delivers a heartfelt story about the true meaning of the season as revealed through Matthew and Hannah’s love story.
