Season of Love

When her great-aunt Cass dies, artist Miriam Blum inherits part of Carrigan's, the family Christmas tree farm in the Adirondacks, and with it a return to the relatives she spent years avoiding. She arrives to find the business in trouble and its manager, Noelle Northwood, openly resentful of her long absence. Saving the farm means the two women have to work side by side, and the sparks between them are immediate even when they drive each other up the wall. Reviewers call this queer holiday romance warm and cozy, with a Jewish heroine and real emotional depth around grief and family history.
