Home for Christmas

At first glance, Nell King's cozy home in Yorktide, Maine, seems a step down from the impeccably decorated Boston house she shared with her husband.

But in the six years since he abruptly left to marry another woman, Nell and her almost-grown daughters have found real happiness and comfort here.

She gave up her own ambitions when she married. With the daily obligations of motherhood coming to an end, what role is left for her to fill? 21-year-old Molly has never forgiven her father for walking out, though she worries about sacrificing her independence the way her mother did.

Should she stay in Maine with her dependable boyfriend, or move to the city and prove herself?
