Johanna Lindsey's recurring characters of the Malory family meet for Christmas and receive an unexpected present; a journal detailing the story of their great-grandparents. The story inspires a wedding between two characters. A good read for those of us who enjoy the Malorys.
a mysterious anonymous present-an old journal about love affairs in the family
The mysterious present was hard to miss, placed prominently up on a pedestal table next to the fireplace. Wrapped in gold cloth, banded with a red velvet ribbon and bow, it was oddly shaped nearly like the size of a thick book, yet a round protrusion on top suggested it was nothing that simple.
