Facing Christmas in an empty nest, Laura and Stanley Jacobs decide to do something they've always dreamed of— rent a massive beach home on Sea Island, South Carolina, their favorite vacation destination. However, a series of unexpected circumstances, finds them with a house full when youngest daughter Shelly shows up from Germany with her new boyfriend Darian, recently divorced middle son Bryce arrives jobless with his twins, and estranged eldest child Terry finally decides to come home after five years with her celebrity chef boyfriend João. The result is heartwarming holiday among the swaying palmettos of the Low Country. "When something makes you think about the best times you've had with family, it's a genuine gift. I found myself smiling through this entire story. Might become my yearly holiday read!" - Zig Zag Claybourne, author of Afropuffs are the Antennae of the Universe. "A Palmetto Christmas reminds us that the holidays can bring out the worst in people, but also the best. The Jacobs demonstrate authentic love, and the true spirit of Christmas—family." - Nicole Givens Kurtz, Owner of Mocha Memoirs
