Christmas Duet by Debbie Macomber is a heartwarming holiday romance that tells the story of two women who come together to celebrate Christmas in a special way. The book features two novellas: “The Christmas Basket” and “The Christmas Candle.”
In The Christmas Basket, the story revolves around a woman named Carrie who returns to her hometown of Port Orchard, Washington, after her mother’s death. She struggles with her grief but finds comfort in reconnecting with a man named Jace, who she used to know. As they work together to bring joy to the local community during Christmas, they begin to realize that they may have a second chance at love.
In The Christmas Candle, a different set of characters—Carly and Alex—are brought together through the story of a magical Christmas candle. When Carly inherits the candle, she discovers that it has the power to bring wishes to life. Alex, a man dealing with his own troubled past, becomes an important part of Carly’s Christmas journey.
Both stories are filled with themes of love, forgiveness, and the magic of Christmas. Macomber’s storytelling captures the spirit of the holiday season, offering readers an uplifting experience of hope and renewal.
