Best-selling Author Kimberly Shursen brings a fresh, out-of-the-box "This Is Us" holiday story to life. Laugh, tears, twists, and turns in this first ever published story about a professional cuddler disguised as Santa. Thirty-three-year-old Scott Dempsey is determined not to spend another holiday season pining over his ex-wife. He's determined to find something...anything....that will take his mind of of marriage gone south over the holidays. When Scott comes across an article about the professional cuddling business his curiosity is piqued. People pay for someone to listen? Hug them? Really? Scott's been told he's a good listener but is a wee bit leery about the cuddling part. After he weighs the pros and cons of becoming a professional cuddler, the biggest con is that he lives in the small community of Peace, Oregon where there are no secrets, and yet what better way to get out of his own head than to get in someone else's? And, if he's disguised as Santa no one will recognize him. Well, he can only hope. After he orders the costume and distributes a flyer with his pre-paid phone number, the last seven digits spelling out imsanta, the calls start pouring in. As Scott begins his gig as a Santa cuddler, he soon finds he's not the only one who doesn't look forward to the holiday season. People he's known all his life have much more to their story than anyone knows,masking their disappointments, fears, heartaches, and resentments with a smile. And then he meets Bella...and then his ex calls and says she's coming home to see him, and then there's four-year-old Charlie Scott volunteers to care for temporarily. Could things get any more complicated? Apparently so as trouble is brewing when the town busybody sets out to hunt down a roaming Santa, suspecting his motives are less than honorable. What readers are saying about Peace In the Valley:..... I became immersed in this unbelievable Christmas story that I could not put down! ,,,, I laughed and cried...so many relatable characters. ,,,, I loved the unique concept of this story. ,,,, Better than a Hallmark movie! ,,,, Gifts are not always wrapped beautifully under a tree...some come from the heart.
