A Traditional Keystone Christmas is the fifth novel in the Welcome to Keystone series and the first holiday special edition novel. In this installment, it's Christmas in Keystone, and everyone is preparing for the holiday season by wrapping presents, spending time with friends, and of course attending the annual tree-lighting ceremony in Lakeview Park. But while this may appear to be a festive and cheerful scene to outsiders, problems are still brewing within. The Lawrence family has invited all of their relatives to spend Christmas with them. But this year, there are a few complications. Caterina fears that her cousin, Paula, is on the verge of uncovering everything about her failed party of the year while Dennis's sister, Lynn, is hiding a secret concerning her health. Will these secrets stay concealed, or will family time force them out into the open? Meanwhile, Linda Hart's grief over losing her husband two Christmas Eves ago is once again causing her to withdraw from her children, prompting her son, Keith, to develop a plan to raise her spirits. But while Keith's plan is well intentioned, it will ultimately be another Hart son and the help of a ghost of the past that truly brings Linda out of her depression. On the East Coast, Justin O'Brian is anticipating another holiday involving his family questioning him about his refusal to return to Keystone. Will he finally be goaded into telling the truth this time, or will his parents and brother still continue to remain in the dark? Finally, Leticia Featherspoon receives an unwelcome Christmas guest in the form of her troubled and flirtatious younger sister, Carmella. Eager to eject Carmella from her life before she can begin destroying her family, Leticia frantically searches until she finds the best way to force her to return to England...possibly in a body bag!
