Some Enchanted Season

Marilyn Pappano. Bantam, $5.99 (384pp) ISBN 978-0-553-57982-6

Pappano takes readers back to the fictional town of Bethlehem, N.Y. (from Season of Wishes), for a season of tree trimming, cookie baking and personal rebirth in her holiday heart-warmer. All of Bethlehem's citizens--human and angelic--are gearing up for the holiday season, including Maggie McKinney, who has spent the past year recovering from a near-fatal car crash that left her scarred and suffering from a slight case of amnesia. The only thing she remembers clearly is that she and Ross, her workaholic husband of 16 years, had planned to divorce. Ross, whose one indiscretion caused Maggie's accident and has left him guilt-ridden, insists on staying with her until she can adjust to living on her own. As Bethlehem weaves its magic, Ross begins to redefine his values and Maggie learns to forgive. This uplifting tale is for everyone who believes in love. (Dec.)
