{"product_id":"9780743423694","title":"Fallen Angel","description":"When I looked up again, Mr. Halworth's red cap was gone. I wondered if his daughter had watched him disappear, and I turned to look at her. It took a little time for me to see that she was staring at her shoes. They were shiny shoes, and she was holding them up off the floor. One had slipped off her heel and was balancing from her toes. We sat there long enough for me to begin to feel responsible for her. At last I moved close enough to reach down and slide the shoe back on her foot. \u003cbr\u003e One night can change a life. For eight-year-old Terry McQuinn, it was a snowy Christmas Eve on the coast of Maine, when Terry glimpsed a world he'd never seen before -- a \"summer people's\" world unknown to the son of a caretaker. Serenity Cottage was a place of beauty and privilege owned by the luminous Halworths -- but in the blink of an eye, a tragic accident left the family in ruins. \u003cbr\u003e Now thirty years later, Terry has spent his life putting distance between himself and his history. Determined not to follow in his father's footsteps, he became a high-flying Hollywood film agent -- but has somehow lost himself along the way. \u003cbr\u003e Terry is finally called back to Maine by the death of his father -- but in the workshop Terry comes across a note in his father's hand that stops him cold: \u003ci\u003eOpen Serenity for Christmas.\u003c\/i\u003e No one has been in the house since that fateful night three decades earlier. Although Terry's first instinct is to leave it all behind, he soon discovers that Katherine Halworth, the girl from thirty years before, is the new owner. With her arrival imminent, Terry's past comes rushing back. \u003cbr\u003e In the hands of critically acclaimed author Don J. Snyder, \u003ci\u003eFallen Angel\u003c\/i\u003e is a warm and unique Christmas tale, reminding us that it's never too late to forgive -- and never too late to love.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106628911344,"sku":"9780743423694","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743423694_p0.jpg?v=1763631813","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743423694","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
