About the event

Author Event: Annie Rains
Page 158 Books is excited to host best selling author Annie Rains to celebrate her latest novel, The Christmas Keepsake.

This heartwarming small-town holiday love story about hope and healing from USA Today bestselling author Annie Rains is perfect for fans of Susan Mallery and Jenny Hale!

Sometimes the best gifts aren’t under the tree.

Everyone has a story to tell. And for Mallory Blue, her grandmother Nan’s community theater and annual Christmas play has been a beloved tradition for as long as she can remember. But this year is different. With Nan losing her memories to dementia, Mallory has taken on more than she can handle—including directing this year’s show.

Two things are keeping Mallory going: A journal that tells the story behind each handmade ornament on Nan’s tree. And Hollis, who volunteers to play Santa to spend time with Mallory and prove he’s no longer the rebellious boy she knew growing up.

As Mallory reads through Nan’s entries, she realizes there’s so much she never knew about her grandmother. And when Mallory has big decisions to make in both her personal and professional life, it’s Nan’s wise advice and Hollis’s steadfast support that will hold the key to this year’s holiday magic.

Annie Rains is a USA Today bestselling author of small-town contemporary stories full of hope and heart. After years of dreaming about becoming an author, Annie published her first book in 2015 and has been chasing deadlines and creating happily ever afters for her characters ever since. When she isn’t writing, Annie is usually spending time with her family or reading a book by one of her favorite authors. Annie also enjoys spending time with her three attention-hungry and mischievous rescues, which inspire the lovable pets in her books.
