A YORKSHIRE CHRISTMAS is a Christmas Around the World Novella. Two lonely people seeking solitude find that the world has better offers, especially at Christmastime. I thoroughly enjoyed this short story and will strive to read more of these novellas. Kate Hewitt is very talented in giving the reader the romance and emotional fulfillment for this man and woman as well as a deserving child. I know that I will search for more works by this author in the future.
