BLURB:
What are the chances that accidentally knocking over someone’s trash cans on a dark street would lead to a new lease on life?
Moving to Chestnut Crossings is Lucy Carrington‘s only chance to live her Christian beliefs free from ridicule. But when she runs over the church trash cans, her new beginning gets off to a rocky start. Thankfully, the pastor is as forgiving as he is handsome.
Pastor Jim Sullivan is impressed by Lucy. She's a woman of her word and doesn't seem to take the easy way out. But when he offers her a job, he soon discovers her quirks---she's always late, embraces as a blessing something he views as a curse, and is hiding something about her past...not that Jim should judge. He has issues of his own he'd like to keep hidden.
When Pastor Jim asks Lucy to sing at the Christmas pageant, she's faced with a difficult and emotional decision.
Will singing free her heart from painful family memories…and inspire Jim to forgive himself, too?
In Light a Christmas Candle, discover a holiday season filled with challenges, forgiveness, love and restoration.

EXTRACT:
"Sing with me, Dillon." Lucy Carrington started the first verse of her favorite Christmas song, ‚Silent Night,‛ as she carefully guided her SUV down the dark, unfamiliar streets of Chestnut Crossings, her new hometown.
"I can’t hear you, Dillon," she prompted her black lab to sing along with her. And as usual, Dillon started ‚singing‛ his part, howling right along with her. Before long, they were both at full volume.
The song ended, and Lucy turned the corner. "You must be hungry, my dear boy. You’re so patient. I’ll get you back home soon, I promise."
She glanced at Dillon and patted him affectionately. "We got you to the park late tonight for your walk. Sorry. But I needed time in the art studio at the workshop to finish up that last batch of Christmas candles for the holiday bazaar tomorrow and—"
A loud crash on her front grill rang through the darkness. "What was that?" She jammed on the brakes. "It’s OK. It’s OK," she murmured, trying to stop Dillon’s barking.
Grabbing a flashlight from her glove box, she hustled out of the car. "Oh God, please. I hope I haven’t hit someone, not right before Christmas."
