Coming Home Series
After his father left them, Isaac Anderson and his mother moved to a farm in Stoneybrook, North Carolina owned by family friends, the McCormicks. At four years old, Mason McCormick and Isaac became best friends. Over the years, they helped each other with chores and spent most of their free time together.
Mason assumed they would continue to live on the farm after high school and eventually take over when their parents retired, but Isaac had other plans. He dreamed of becoming a journalist and moving to a big city with unlimited stories to cover.
When Isaac shared his feelings, Mason was devastated, and he responded with anger to hide his pain. As a result, Isaac moved to Atlanta, and Mason didn’t hear from him again. Until five years later, when an accident involving Isaac’s mother had him coming home.
The holiday season was always Isaac’s favorite time of year, but it held a bigger place in his heart after marrying Mason. They’d spent numerous Christmases together over the years—more than Isaac could count on one hand—but something about it being their first Christmas married made it all the more meaningful.
And what better way to celebrate than hosting a Christmas celebration at the farm? Business had been slow, and Stoneybrook didn’t have the same magical feel as it did when Isaac was a kid. He made it his personal mission to turn the farm into a winter wonderland. Well, as much as he could in an area that didn’t get much snow.
With the help of Mason and their friend Olivia, he pulled together a Christmas festival, but little did he know, Olivia was coming home for Christmas with more than just presents.
