Summary

The author of the popular Destiny novels returns to French wine country for a heartwarming, life-changing Christmas in this delightful story collection.

Fans of Patricia Dixon’s Destiny series are once again carried off to the Loire Valley, this time for the holiday season, where we learn what life has in store for Anna and Daniel, Grace and Max, and Ruby and Rosie. Then, as a special holiday treat, Patricia Dixon introduces a brand new family in the final story, A Christmas Tale.

Barbara and Ned are spending the festivities away from their children and rather unruly grandchildren, relaxing in their wintry countryside home whilst avoiding the hustle and bustle of Christmas in England. Despite escaping to France, both know they have a special task to perform, keeping a solemn promise and saying goodbye to loved ones, once and for all. This magical tale recaptures the innocence of childhood Christmases, embracing the spirit of the season and the precious gift of abiding love.

Destiny was previously published under the title Return Journeys.

Author Biography

Patricia Dixon was born in Manchester where she still lives with her husband. They have two grown up children and one grandson, plus the company of a lazy bulldog. Ignoring her high school reports and possibly sound advice from teachers, Patricia shunned the world of academia and instead, stubbornly pursued a career in fashion. Once the sparkle of London life wore off she returned north and embarked on a new adventure, that of motherhood. Now, almost thirty years later she has acquiesced to the wise words of her elders and turned her hand to writing. Patricia has written five novels set in the Loire and then, in complete contrast, a much darker story of psychological suspense. She is currently writing her next book, a murderous tale set in the sixties and if she’s not at her desk Patricia loves to read historical fiction or attempts recipes that look great on television but not necessarily her plate. And when the penny jar is full she cashes in her coins and heads to France, the lure of red wine and escapism equalled only by the pursuance of her dream job, writing for a living.
