Somewhere in the United States - Present Day

In this small, but heartwarming Christmas novel, seven women, all bound together by blood, each tell their story:

Katherine cares for her husband of fifty years who suffers from dementia, all the while, still loving him and hanging on.

Julianna hopes and prays that a certain young man will notice her, but it takes a catastrophe with four-year-olds to get his attention.

Adrianna leaves her home and runs away to the comfort of a nearby chapel where she prays for the death of her marriage.

Cassandra adores the child upstairs. But why is the little one kept in a locked room?

Victoria is too busy to worry about her emotional future but, sometimes, all it takes is the spirit of Christmas to awaken a buried heart.

Alexandra's time is limited, and as she looks for an answer in the mail, she learns that sometimes feelings of hope come when we least expect them.

Isabella is waiting for a new beginning that comes along in a surprisingly small bundle from far away.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS is a charming, small little novel compiled of seven separate vignettes that wrap up in the ending chapter. Seven special women celebrate love and sorrow and find miracles of their very own within themselves. This is a special book for the holidays. It's a feel-good read that will earn a special place on your coffee table.
