Staff Pick of the Week is \u201cComfort & Joy\u201d by Kristin Hannah. \u00a0Come on in and check it out! From Goodreads:<\/p>\n

Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can\u2019t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind–to just walk away–and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the small town of Rain Valley, six-year-old Bobby O\u2019Shea is facing his first Christmas without a mother. Unable to handle the loss, Bobby has closed himself off from the world, talking only to his invisible best friend. His father Daniel is beside himself, desperate to help his son cope. Yet when the little boy meets Joy, these two unlikely souls form a deep and powerful bond. In helping Bobby and Daniel heal, Joy finds herself again.<\/em><\/p>\n

But not everything is as it seems in quiet Rain Valley, and in an instant, Joy\u2019s world is ripped apart, and her heart is broken. On a magical Christmas Eve, a night of impossible dreams and unexpected chances, Joy must find the courage to believe in a love–and a family–that can\u2019t possibly exist, and go in search of what she wants . . . and the new life only she can find.<\/em><\/p>\n
