Pretzels & Pirouettes: The Baby Is the Gift
Meet Clars’s great-great-great-granddaughter, motorcycle-riding, ballet-dancing Lyydi Jager. She’ll pirouette straight into your heart, and you’ll ride right into this Christmas pageant at Our Savior Church.
You’ll laugh, and cry, and wonder just how silly things can get with a bunch of kids in a dancing Christmas play! She and her friend, Summer, lead the children to exclaim, “The Baby is the Gift!”
Lyydi’s just as creative and spunky as Clara (Tangled Promises and Frayed Promises) ever thought to be. But “Pickled Pliés!” She’s vowed she has no interest in any man. That’s before a stranger shows up at the church in an Arabian Knight costume, and wearing a pretzel on his head!
You’ll discover their story in Book 3 of the Promised Destiny series, where new mysteries and family secrets will keep you cheering for this couple. Nancy Drew-style clues will keep you guessing until the end. Planted Promises is expected to release in Spring 2026.

It’s a unique, merry, chaotic Christmas novelette that’s a triumphant tribute to anyone who has directed pageants. The slapstick humor will brighten your celebration with a pink-haired Baby Jesus and a manger scene you’d not expect. Fun!

A delightful, funny, and warm-hearted Christmas story. Reminiscent of the mood from the 1972 book, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, a favorite of mine. I found myself chuckling aloud throughout Pretzels and Pirouettes. Loved the meet-cute between Lyydi and Benji, but it came totally unexpected to me. A pleasant surprise for this romance reader! The author wrote an original, sweet story about a church Christmas Pageant, of which the antics of the cast touched my heart. Nicely done.
