Festive Stories

He's clinging to duty, and she's given up on faith. Together, they might discover grace. After nearly ten years away, Shiloh Carter swore she'd never set foot in Silver Falls again. But when her grandmother reaches out, Shy finds herself returning to the town she once called home. There she finds herself face-to-face with everything she tried to outrun--- including a new innkeeper that she never saw coming. Bradley Mitchell has spent months trying to keep his late grandfather's dream alive. The Evergreen Inn is falling apart, winter is closing in, and hope feels as fragile as the old roof beams. The last thing he expects is Shy---a girl with sad eyes and murky past---to show up offering an idea that just might be the Inn's redemption. As snow deepens and the town rallies for a Christmas Fundraiser, Shy and Bradley find themselves drawn together by shared loss and rediscovered faith. Grace begins to mend what grief once shattered. Because sometimes God's greatest gifts don't arrive wrapped in perfection - they come quietly, like light in the window on a winter night, leading you home.

Once Caleb reached the bottom of the stairs he quietly opened the door and tiredly switched on the light "Jayden it isn't morning yet buddy you need to-" he froze in place staring at a man he didn't know standing in his living room. The man stared back at him like a deer in the headlights, he looked a few years older than Caleb, had stubble growing around his face, dark brown greasy hair that wasn't styled in any particular way and was wearing full black aside from the muddy navy blue trainers he was sporting. "Who the fuck are you and what are you doing here?" Caleb demanded in a hushed whisper, he also noticed the black backpack the stranger was carrying and the open living room window he'd clearly used to gain entry, the vase that was previously rested on the windowsill lay in pieces on the ground, that must've been the crash that had awoken Caleb from his tranquil slumber. "Just a passerby, no one much" the strange man whispered back an air of mystery hanging about his every word. "Inside my living room?" Caleb replied folding his arms and sizing the man up, after his beating earlier in the evening he wasn't exactly fighting fit, the intruder was also taller and muscly, there's no way Caleb would win if it came to a fight. "Consider me Santa Claus alright? Now go back to bed kid" the man answered calmly pointing at the door as if Caleb was a child. "I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm 18. Santa isn't real" Caleb responded harshly taking a step forward, the man noticeably took a step towards the window eyeing Caleb up with a smirk.
