The Santa Suit

The Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews 

The Santa Suit is a heartwarming story about holiday spirit, hope, and love. Ivy Parkins, newly divorced, decides she needs a change in her life. Since she can do her job from anywhere, she follows her dream of owning a farm by purchasing a house in North Carolina that she’s only seen in pictures. Ivy hopes this move will be the fresh start she needs to rebuild her life.

When she arrives at her new home, her real estate agent, Ezra, is waiting to help. Ivy soon realises that the property is more rundown than she had expected. Ezra offers his assistance with anything she may need, including helping to clear out the old furniture left behind by the previous owners.

As Ivy boxes up the belongings, she learns that the former owners were passionate about Christmas and played the roles of Mrs. Claus and Santa Claus for the town for many years. While cleaning, she finds an old Santa suit tucked away, and inside its pocket, she discovers a letter from a young girl hoping her father will come home from the war.

With her list of home repairs already growing, Ivy decides to dig deeper into the mystery of the letter. Her detective work connects her with new friends, and she meets wonderful neighbors who help her realise that, even though she is no longer married, she is far from alone. Meanwhile, her handsome real estate agent, Ezra, seems all too willing to help her at a moment’s notice. Ivy must decide if she is ready to open her heart to a relationship once again.

This heartwarming, quick read reminds us of the good in people and the magic of the holiday season.
