Books like A Little Christmas Spirit by Sheila Roberts
Lexie Bell, a single mother, is determined to make her first Christmas in a new house a memorable one for her six‑year‑old son Brock, complete with lights, homemade fudge, and festive cheer. Her hopes are challenged by Stanley, the stubborn widower next door, whose grumpy demeanor suggests he has lost his Christmas spirit after his wife’s death. When Lexie and Stanley begin to interact—through unexpected encounters, the presence of a mysterious Christmas ghost, and slowly breaking down their walls—they discover that a small dose of neighborly kindness can restore joy and open hearts to both romance and community. The story intertwines the challenges of single parenting, the healing power of holiday traditions, and the transformative effect of a rekindled spirit in a contemporary setting.
