“Complicated loss, maternal secrets, and newfound hope are blanketed by Chicago snow in Taylor Hahn’s tenderhearted novel A Home for the Holidays… Well-balanced and lovely. Hahn (The Lifestyle) writes funny and heartwarming scenes as deftly as she renders the illogical nature of grief… Those seeking some heft in their seasonal reading may find comfort in the truism underpinning Hahn’s novel: that the home one needs now might not be the home one has always known, and that honoring both is possible–for the holidays and beyond.”

Redemptive, relatable, smart-funny, and yes, romantic, this novel will make you believe in second chances. I will never forget these characters. Be ready to fall in love.”

“A Home for the Holidays is a wonder. Taylor Hahn has written a pitch-perfect novel about grief, healing, and coming to terms with family secrets. I fell in love with Mel, a wedding singer who must re-examine the meaning of home after her mother’s passing, and in doing so, opens herself up to a more expansive definition of family. Heartwarming, true, and ultimately playful, this novel will stay with me for a long time.”
