From Booklist

At her Welsh aunt's funeral, Jane Maas made a promise to herself (and her aunt) to fulfill the family dream and travel back to Wales, discover distant relations, and spend the next Christmas with them. The story is told alternately by Jane and her husband, Peter. He utters charming observations on his wife's mission and her devotion to everything Welsh, especially the myths and magic. It seems to be a perfect Yuletide vacation, filled with caroling, enchanting new acquaintances, memorable sightseeing, but no new cousins--until the final pages of the story, when wishes upon the spirit of St. Govan do come true.

This review is from: Christmas in Wales: A Homecoming (Hardcover)

This is a correction to the blurb about this title. I believe the name of Jane Maas' husband is Michael (see co-author, Michael Maas as well as the book she wrote on advertising in 1986 "Adventures of an Advertising Woman"). Peter is the name of Michael's brother.
