Spotlight on Homemakers' Christmas by Jill Piscitello
Homemaker's Christmas (Amazon) and Smashwords
Homemakers' Christmas captures the joy, love, and hope of the Christmas season. Cricket Williams' life has seemingly hit rock bottom when she and her children are unexpectedly rescued. It seems she is being a given a new chance at life and love, but will she have the courage to take that chance?
This is unique and special holiday story because it is truly about the essence of Christmas, more than just a love story backlit with holiday lights. It is about charity, kindness, and forgiveness, especially of one's self.
A tender and enjoyable read, perfect for the holiday seasonBlurb: One woman’s journey from nothing to everything...
A recent error in judgment has deposited Cricket Williams, her daughter, and a son spiking a high fever into a homeless shelter. A touch of Christmas magic is sprinkled upon her family when an eccentric volunteer invites them into her New England farmhouse. Blindsided with the proposition of a contractual living arrangement, Cricket is seized with renewed hope for her future.
Boris Glynn is in town visiting his grandmother but harbors a secret that will impact her life and the lives of his dearest friends. Complications arise when he is unable to restrain himself from pursuing his grandmother’s beautiful new neighbor.
As Cricket begins to succumb to Boris’s attention, her new world is shaken by a series of events that have the potential to destroy her plans for a fresh start.

About CHRISTMAS COMEBACK (TO ME)
Rear ending a reindeer, even a faux one, is a bad start to any morning, especially when that woman in a reindeer costume is your first love, the one you’ve never gotten over.
Erik or “Erik the Wall” Engen, formerly one of the most feared and admired goalies in the International Hockey League, now an executive in his family’s holiday ornament company, has returned to his hometown of Noelle, Wisconsin during its annual Nutcracker Festival. It’s his job to evaluate the prospects of the Engen Nutcracker Factory, the company founded by his beloved grandfather.
After travelling the world creating murals, artist Stella Larson has returned to Noelle as well. Erik and Stella soon realize the old feelings between them linger, but she can’t seem to forget or forgive him for breaking her heart a decade before.
With a little hope and some Christmas magic, can Erik make his way back to the woman he always carried with him in his heart?
