Can old dreams find new life amongst sparkling tinsel and twinkling lights?

Virginia defied the odds to make nearly all of her girlhood wishes come true. Except for one.

She's spent decades doing work she's loved alongside a supportive husband. Now health struggles and languishing sales at her beloved bookstore threaten more than her livelihood. Walking away would be the practical thing to do, but Virginia isn't a practical woman.

Nathan needs to figure out his life. College graduation is looming, and he should be in the job hunt, but his dreams don't include cubicles or corporate ladders. He'd rather help Virginia and her husband make the most of this holiday shopping season. If he can't help turn things around, their life's work will fade away.

When a chance discovery unearths Virginia's biggest regret, can she finally summon the courage to try again, or is it too late? Will things fall into place, or will it all fall apart? It feels impossible, but no one should underestimate the magic of the Christmas season.

Capturing Wishes will take you on a heartfelt exploration of new and old loves, fresh and forgotten dreams, and the inevitable perks of different perspectives. This inspiring holiday novel is a delightful addition to Kimberly Diede's heartwarming Celia's Gifts series.

The pull of Whispering Pines continues. Whether you are new here or anxious to continue on your journey with this refreshing circle of family and friends, you deserve the gift of this feel-good story. It will remind you that we never outgrow the power of a wish.
