About this listen
Coming Home for Christmas is a beautifully observed story about the importance of family, the magic of Christmas, and falling in love one snowflake at a time.
Fans of Trisha Ashley, Susan Wiggs, Carole Matthews and Susan Mallery - and anyone who loves the sound of carols and the twinkling of lights on the Christmas tree - will adore Jenny Hale's feel-good debut.
Christmas is a time for family... isn't it?
Allie Richfield loves Christmas, so when she lands a job as House Manager for the amazing Ashford Estate - which includes organizing the Marley family festivities - she is in her element. With a budget bigger than her life savings and a team of staff, how hard can it be?
As one-by-one she meets the Marleys, she’s about to find out...
Allie’s new boss, Robert, might be gorgeous, but he’s also colder than the snow outside and refuses to come home for Christmas. Robert’s playboy brother, Kip, flirts with her relentlessly; and his sister, Sloane, arrives home with baggage - both the divorce-kind and the Louis Vuitton kind. Their ninety-two year old grandmother, Pippa, spends her day grumbling at them all from her mobility scooter.
With Robert intending to sell Ashford, it’s the Marley’s last chance to create some happy memories in their family home - and Allie is determined to make it happen... even if it takes a little Christmas magic! With the festive spirit in full swing, she might even discover a little happiness of her own...

If you’re searching for a feel-good, romance with a Christmassy feel then look no further. Allie takes a job as a house manager and is set to plan their family Christmas meeting. The only trouble is the family are set against each other by the coming sale of the property. Matters get even more complicated when Allie receives the attention of Kip, the playboy brother of her employer.

Emotional, family love, romantic.What did you like best about this story?
I loved the different personalities of the character in this story and how Ally discovered so much about the people she'd began to work for with an honest heart and was able to try and bridge the gap between them for a last Christmas in their home.What does Teri Schnaubelt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I think Teri brought the voices out of the character so beautifully that they felt like they came alive in my mind.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did some parts made me feel sad and other laugh and happy. I think this story takes you through lots of emotions throughout the festive season.Any additional comments?

An absolutely fine Christmas story with no brilliant features but no terrible ones. Oh, except there is a character called Robert Marley and no one ever references that he is Bob Marley. That is truly unforgivable.
Absolutely Fine

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Not as a Christmas read. Although Christmas was in the background it seldom took centre stage.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I liked the ending and all the ends were tied up but I though it was too rushed.What three words best describe Teri Schnaubelt’s performance?
Can't think of three words but I liked her voice and think she did a good job.Was Coming Home for Christmas worth the listening time?
For me it wasn't though I didn't hate it. I think it was probably aimed at much younger audienceAny additional comments?
Although I knew it was set in America and the reader is American I didn't anticipate how many everyday words would be different. Normally it wouldn't be such a problem but it meant I had to concentrate more and all I wanted at Christmas was a book I could relax with and this didn't fit the bill.Coming home for Christmas
