Elementary school teacher Mary Alice Reed wanted a nice, stable guy to share her happily ever after. When she thought she'd found him, everyone tried to tell her that the guy she thought was her Mr. Right, was really Mr. Somebody Else's. Living with a town's worth of I-told-you-so isn't easy, but she's coping. And definitely taking a break from love in order to get past her last disaster to chair her favorite Christmas charity. Trauma surgeon Chad Phillips gave up the intensity and long hours of a big city hospital to move to Wishful. He wants a home and family, a town with a slower pace, where he can actually build a life. Being one of Wishful’s most eligible bachelors has gotten him a lot of pie and casseroles, but it hasn’t helped him find that special someone to come home to. When a friend’s accident lands Mary Alice in his ER, Chad finds himself more than intrigued. Part Martha Stewart, part Mary Poppins, and all Girl Next Door, she’s exactly what he’s been looking for. Volunteering for the Fountain of Hope charity seems like the perfect way to get to know his Christmas crush. But just as he seems to be overcoming Mary Alice's once bitten, twice shy caution, that one tiny thing from his past, that he probably should have told her about, shows up for a Christmas season visit. Chad's gonna have some explaining to do.

Traditions grow up in neighborhoods and churches the way that they do in families. Fountain City, a fictional city in the Deep South, is no different. Their most recent tradition is the Faith Promise campaign that raises money for missions and feeding the hungry. A noble and necessary work, over time, the key to Faith Promise's ongoing and invigorating success is attributed to Mrs. Bopp's Miracle Fudge, a new holiday recipe invented each year by a fudge-making genius to kick-off the Christmas season and the fund-raising campaign. People who have more than a sweet tooth to satisfy line up for her fudge believing that good things happen when you eat it. But better things begin to happen when Mrs. Bopp can suddenly no longer make the famous fudge. The recipes that have become traditions are left behind when the life-energizing force of Love itself takes a greater hold and moves the citizens of Fountain City to taste and see that the power of Christmas itself-its joy and its truth-are far more potent than any man-made recipe or tradition.

For many people, the soothing sound of water trickling through a fountain has the same effect as taking a deep breath: it's instantly calming and relaxing. Now, thanks to this first-of-its-kind book, you can bring the rhythmic music of flowing water into your home with decorative tabletop fountains that you create yourself. The techniques are simple and the materials inexpensive. You begin with an attractive bowl or basin to which you add a submersible pump, along with plastic tubing to direct the water flow. Then comes the fun part--finding a way to disguise these elements. Marbles, stones, and rocks work well. In minutes, your fountain will be up and running. More elaborate fountains with layers of cascading water are also easy to build--they just take a little more time. Book jacket.
