Christmas In Cranberry Harbor

When Boston journalist Lizzie Martin returns to her Cape Cod hometown for Christmas, she’s faced with more than cocoa, cookies, and Santa arriving on a boat. Her ex-fiance, Jack, is also in town, her dad’s newspaper is struggling, her town is losing all its young people to opportunities and more affordable housing off-Cape, and climate change is rapidly eroding the coastline. Can two people who haven’t spoken to each other in three years find their way back to each other, work together to help change their town’s future and in doing so perhaps change their own?

Candace Hammond grew up and still lives on Cape Cod, but will forever be considered a washashore for not having been born there. She is a journalist, playwright, and novelist, who also hosts an arts podcast/radio show on WOMR out of Provincetown, because people in the arts have the best stories. She is the mother of three adult children who are scattered around the globe, and grandmother to one amazing little girl. She lives with her musician partner and their very large cat on the Lower Cape.
