A royal Christmas Wedding by Rachel Hauck

 College volleyball star Avery Truitt hasn't set foot in Brighton Kingdom since Prince Colin shattered her heart five years ago. But now, the sadness of losing her father and the joy of her sister Susanna's pregnancy have brought Avery back to Brighton just in time for Cathedral City's enchanting Christmas season.

For Avery, Christmas in Brighton means facing Colin--now the Kingdom's most eligible bachelor--whether or not her heart is ready to relive the pain. And yet, seeing him again might bring her the closure she needs after all this time.

But Colin has his own battle to face. Drawn into a centuries-old tradition, he must decide whether to follow the path laid out before him or follow his heart to the only woman he would ever vow to love.

Can he convince Avery to meet him at the chapel on Christmas morning as tradition dictates, or will she leave Brighton Kingdom--and him--behind forever?

If Jesus Came To School by April Graney

In this beautifully illustrated picture book, a young girl learns how Jesus’s love can shine at school through her compassion, kindness, and inclusion.

In this whimsical tale, a young girl imagines what it would be like if Jesus visited her school as a boy. She would show Jesus around her classroom, introduce her friends and teachers, listen to story time, and eat lunch together! But Jesus wouldn't stop at learning and sitting in class. He'd invite the lonely to join in on games and find a way to love and get along with everyone. Soon the young girl realizes that even though Jesus doesn’t attend her school, he can live through her:

I can be his hands and feet
To spread his love to all
I can share and help and give
So no one feels too small!

Through rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, children will be inspired to make a difference in their schools through their actions. Because as they treat each other right and classes become families, Jesus truly will be in their school.

Good Hair Days by Grace Helena Walz

 A modern twist on Steel Magnolias meets Hello Beautiful with some extra Dolly Parton flair.

The Louise women have squabbled for years, but they've always agreed on one thing: Georgia would be the one to make them proud. Years--and failed dreams--later, Georgia only wants to come home to the small Southern town of Whitetail, back to the family salon, June's Beauty Shop, but to do so would mean dashing their hopes by admitting she's fallen helplessly short.

When little sister Junie lands the beauty shop in hot water by way of a renovation gone wrong, reliable big sister Georgia returns to save the day. June's Beauty may look like an outdated hole-in-the-wall slathered in Dolly Parton memorabilia, but to the women in town, it's a sacred space. To Georgia and Junie, it is their family legacy. For generations, the shop has been passed down to every first-born daughter--always named June. It's what's left to anchor them to their late mother's memory.

Without enough money to repair the shop, the sisters, along with their maternal aunts, jump into a series of money-making schemes. From setting out gambling tables at June's to selling Aunt Tina's pies at the fair, they will stop at nothing. But when Junie receives a life-altering diagnosis, the very world the Louise women could always rely on is turned upside down. They are forced to dig deep, finally tell the truth, and rely on the part of their family legacy that has never wavered: the deep love between them.

Bursting with energy, heart, and sass, Good Hair Days is about a family pulling together for a common purpose, finding healing from the past, and moving forward courageously as they face their hardest trial yet.
