About  Southern Fried Christmas

​

Christmas in Colorado holds too many memories for journalist Kelly Shepherd.

​

Still grieving her father's death, she accepts an assignment in Louisiana's Cajun Country, where unfamiliar traditions and a change of scenery might make the holiday easier to bear.

 

Her plan is simple: finish the article, return to the mountains, and keep her heart safely out of the season.

​

Adrien Labouve has spent five years raising his ten-year-old daughter and tending the family business after losing his wife. He isn't looking for love, especially not with a visitor whose home is a thousand miles away.

 

But Kelly's arrival awakens feelings he thought he'd buried, and her connection to his world challenges the future he's imagined.

​

Between the bayous and the Rockies, two wounded hearts discover that Christmas can hold more than memories of loss. With faith, family, and newfound courage, they may find that God's plans reach farther than distance.

​

Southern Fried Christmas is a heartwarming story about rediscovering joy after loss, opening wounded hearts to unexpected love, and trusting God's plans for a future filled with hope. Against the warmth of a Louisiana Cajun Christmas, two people discover that sometimes the greatest blessings come when—and where—we least expect them.
