The Night Before the Bells Ring: Old Wounds, New Beginnings Before The Dawn Of Christmas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798270899967)

In the snow-covered town of Evergreen Hollow, Christmas is supposed to be a season of peace, family, and forgiveness. But for Clara Bennett, it has always been a haunting reminder of what she lost. Years ago, on a cold Christmas Eve, a tragedy shattered her family and silenced the town's beloved church bells-leaving behind only echoes of guilt, unanswered letters, and memories that refused to fade.
Now, after years away, Clara returns home carrying the weight of secrets and the quiet hope that time might have softened the past. Her father, Henry Bennett, still lives in the old family house where grief once turned silence into a language of its own. The townspeople, too, have learned to move on-except for Eli Turner, the kind-eyed carpenter who tends the clock tower where the bells have hung mute for years.
As Evergreen Hollow prepares for its annual Christmas Festival, Clara is drawn into the delicate rhythm of the town again-the scent of pine wreaths, the glow of lanterns, the laughter of children on snowy streets. But beneath the surface lies unfinished business. Old letters resurface, long-buried truths come to light, and the fragile threads of reconciliation begin to weave a new tapestry of hope.
When a fierce winter storm traps the townspeople together on Christmas Eve, long-kept secrets are forced into the open. Clara must face the night that changed everything and decide whether she can forgive-not just her father, or Eli, but herself. And as midnight approaches, the town waits breathlessly for the bells to ring again, carrying their song of forgiveness and renewal through the frozen air.
The Night Before the Bells Ring is a tender and luminous story about grief, redemption, and the quiet power of coming home. With prose as crisp as winter air and as warm as candlelight, Eleanor Frostfield invites readers into a world where every snowflake carries memory, every silence holds meaning, and every broken heart holds the promise of new beginnings.
This unforgettable Christmas novel will speak to anyone who has ever lost something precious, who has ever stood on the edge of forgiveness, and who has dared to believe that even the deepest wounds can heal when the bells finally ring again.
