Everyone in town knows Emerald Crest, the green granite mansion atop the highest hill, and the legendary, lavish Christmas festivities that used to light up the nights—and the silence that followed when the parties abruptly stopped many years ago. And everyone has heard whispers about the reclusive, mysterious master of the manor, Henry Lafferty the Second. When eleven-year-old Julia Russell steps into the great house for the first time and meets Mr. Lafferty, the entire course of her life shifts. He’s nothing at all like the rumors she’s heard from neigh- bors and classmates. He’s kind and extraordinarily talented—he also happens to be deaf and use a wheelchair. And when she over- hears a secret about him, Julia decides it’s time for the town to bring Christmas back to Emerald Crest—an act that will change them all forever.

She is a classically trained musician and enjoys art, books, nature, cooking, travel, and sto- ries about ordinary people who live extraordinary lives.
