The year is 1975. Elle Sheen—a single mother who is supporting herself and her six-year-old, African-American son, Dylan, as a waitress at the Noel Street Diner—isn't sure what to make of William Smith when his appearance creates a stir in the small town of Mistletoe, Utah. As their lives unexpectedly entwine, Elle learns that William, a recently returned Vietnam POW, is not only fighting demons from his past, but may also have the answer to her own secret pain—a revelation that culminates in a remarkable act of love and forgiveness.

Best-selling Evans brings readers another evocative story of hope and forgiveness at Christmas time with this year's welcome addition to his Noel Collection, following The Noel Stranger (2018). This outstanding holiday love story is set in the 1970s. Widowed after her husband was killed fighting in Vietnam, Elle has been raising her mixed-race son, Dylan, on her own in the tiny town of Mistletoe, Utah. Her income as a waitress barely covers their bills, especially with the constant need for car repairs. Vietnam POW William returns to the U.S. and finds work as a mechanic in Mistletoe. After Elle is kind to him when he has a flashback and jumps for cover in front of half the town, he offers to fix her ornery car. The two start taking care of each other, but William fears that when she learns how he knows her late husband, she will not want to be with him. Evans combines the second-chance theme with details about life during the Vietnam War to create a memorable, thought-provoking romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
