    About this ebook

    Joy Frost Burton lives a busy, successful life, finding comfort in the lovely home she shares with her three little boys. A widow, she isn't looking for love again, in spite of her three younger sisters' rather pushy encouragement.
    Mysterious fate has other ideas and throws charming Sean Summers into Joy's world again and again. Soon, however, ghosts from the past and a challenging family crisis create difficult complications.
    Does Joy dare risk loss and sorrow a second time by following her wounded heart's new rhythm?


    The Christmas Frost Series--Finding Joy, Noelle's Kiss, Holly's Heart, and Chrissy's Catch--tells the stories of the four Frost sisters, who overcome heartache, betrayal and ghosts from the past to find true love and bring back the magic of Christmas.

    Author

    Joyce Horstmann

    Joyce Elizabeth Horstmann was born and raised in the Midwest, where her two older sisters taught her to read and write long before she started school. She's been a total "word addict" her whole life, including nearly thirty years as a secondary school English and creative writing teacher. Joyce graduated from the University of California at Berkeley, where her greatest adventure (or misadventure), occurred when she was maced from a National Guard helicopter during the People's Park riot in 1969. She insists she was just trying to get to her political science class at the time--and was not part of the crowd of Hippies charging the campus in an attempt to take over the administration building. Life has presented many challenges to Joyce, including the loss of her first husband, a United States Army officer, in Vietnam. The main character in her novella, Finding Joy, is based roughly on her own experiences in dealing with widowhood and finding love again. Mother to four wonderful sons and grandmother to seven terrific grandchildren, Joyce finds inspiration for her writing in all areas of life, especially the multitude of family members, friends, and former students who have filled her life with both love and challenges. She writes poetry, historical fiction, and now--her first modern romance, Book One of Christmas Frost, a four-part collaboration of Holiday romances. Joyce finds her own joy in placing words together to create and share adventure, romance, pathos, faith, other-worldliness, and a full gamut of emotions in lovely black ink on inviting white pages. She plans to keep typing away until she runs out of characters to invent--and that, she is sure, will never happen.
