BIG Dreams Inn a Small New Hampshire Town

By Lisa Allen-Kennard

In the small town of Northwood, New Hampshire, two ten-year-olds meet at Northwood Lake. Cassie and TJ are mesmerized—experiencing a young soulmate connection. In vain, she longs for his return . . . but no, never again. Her only consolation is recurring TJ-dreams where they fall in love over and over again. 

The history-lover grows up, following her plan to live in the seaside city of Portsmouth, NH. Lord only knows what’s happened to TJ. But twenty years later, when they bump into each other once again––that ember of infatuation roars into a blazing bonfire! 

Set in New England’s wintery Christmas season, TJ reveals BIG dreams for Cassie’s small hometown. Her father––an old-fashioned Yankee––isn’t keen on this man re-entering his daughter’s life, and that sets their relationship on a bit of a roller-coaster ride.

The first of three novels, this sweet, romantic, semi-fictional tale is full of drama and country Christmas charm. Follow a patient but determined young man with outlandish dreams. Can he make his pipe-dreams a reality? Peer into Cassie’s heart and mind, sympathize with her hopes and dreams while cheering on her commitment to family and friends. 

Do you believe in fairytales? Cassie didn’t, but she’s beginning to . . .
