RALEIGH, N.C. - Oct. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Second chances are precious and rare, yet aren’t they ultimately what Christmas is all about? Sandra Ardoin’s debut novella, The Yuletide Angel, is set in 1890’s Meadowmead, where a mysterious Yuletide Angel is secretly delivering food to the poor. When her brother announces his engagement, shy spinster-in-the-making Violet Madison fears being cast aside and becoming as needy as those she has been secretly helping. Gathering her courage and her baked goods, she asks the handsome grocer next door to sell her desserts in his store.

Hugh Barnes, a bachelor once hurt by love, is drawn to his timid neighbor. After he discovers she is the town’s mysterious Christmastime benefactor, he vows to protect her, especially from men like the brother who betrayed him. When someone else waits in the shadows to threaten the mission of The Yuletide Angel, will Violet’s pride and Hugh’s distrust turn their fears into reality?

The Yuletide Angel is a heartwarming and inspirational Christmas novella filled with endearing characters and a clear message about pride, trust and love.

Praise for The Yuletide Angel, 5.0 stars on Goodreads, 6 reviews:

This is the story of two people with secrets and dreams of the future. I enjoyed the novella very much. I was disappointed when it ended much too soon. I recommend it to those who love romance and holiday books.  ~  Goodreads review

This book is only 108 pages and I read it in just under two hours. But packed in those 108 pages is such encouragement, selflessness, giving spirits and loving hearts, that you will feel wonderful long after you finish reading The Yuletide Angel. And you will understand that this story—and the season–is all about giving to those in need. ~ Goodreads review

Endearing characters, a sweet love story--The Yuletide Angel has everything I look for in an inspirational novella. ~ Goodreads review
