Christina’s Secret Family

Christina’s Troubles

Christina’s troubles started when she reluctantly inherited the 600-year-old family responsibility. The Norwegian title translates to ‘Daughter who cares for the villagers.’ The title became Americanized to ‘The Santa Keeper’ by an ancestral immigrant over a century and a half ago. Despite her desire for independence, she must take care of a miniature village of magical woodcarvings that hold the true secret of Santa. As Keeper, she faces challenges when Nicholas is mysteriously destroyed. High on her suspect list is her jealous estranged brother Justin who questions her every chance he gets. But she cannot forget an old family nemesis bent to destroy the village and take the magic to revive his family. This is Christina’s mother’s responsibilities, but she disappeared, without a trace.

To make things worse, her boss assigns an impossible project while she finds a woodcarver to replace Nicolas in time for Christmas. Despite Christina’s better judgment, Astrid, Nicolas’ wife chooses widowed woodcarver Ian Thoen to carve the new Nicolas. The busy body woodcarving villagers turn Christina’s life upside down.  And on top of that, Ian’s little daughter, Holly, tries to encourage romance. With help from Ian, Holly and the villagers, can Christina solve the riddle of the broken Santa, restore the magic and discover the true secret of family – or worse, love?
