A Family For Christmas in Pelican Crossing is the latest novel from author Maggie Christensen.
For Lou Chalmers, Books and Coffee in Pelican Crossing isn’t just a bookshop and café, it’s the realisation of a dream. But with her sixty-fifth birthday approaching, she’s beginning to feel the weight of time and harbours regrets over her estranged relationship with her sister. Facing yet another lonely Christmas, she wonders if it’s time to try and reconnect.
When retired widower Blair Stevens leaves Tasmania to join his daughter in Pelican Crossing, he questions if he’s made the right decision. But as he delves into the town’s history and starts writing the novel he’s always wanted to, he becomes engrossed in his new life.
When an event at Lou’s bookshop brings the two together, they strike up an unlikely friendship. As Blair helps Lou search for her long-lost sister, their connection deepens in a way neither of them anticipated. But as fate pushes them towards each other, will their friendship blossom into something more?

A Family For Christmas in Pelican Crossing is a delightful return to Pelican Crossing. It’s the seventh book in the series and works great as a standalone read. But for readers of the previous books, it’s like a reunion with old friends.
With every Pelican Crossing book I read, it just sounds like the most idyllic place to live. With this book Maggie has yet again created something very special.
The relationship between Lou and Blair is a joy to read and see develop so naturally as the story progresses. It’s an absolutely lovely read, full of warmth and lots of heart.
