Sometimes the best gift is a second chance
Christmas is approaching, and Lena Markham finds herself penniless, friendless, and nearly hopeless. She is trying to restart her life, but job opportunities are practically nonexistent. When a secondhand red coat unexpectedly lands her a job as Mrs. Santa at a department store, Lena finally thinks her luck is changing. But can she keep her past a secret?
ISLAND BREEZES
Now with a new job, new friends and the beginning of that new life , Lena was making headway towards happiness. That was, until a mean spirited person from her past ruined it all.
Now she’s nearly alone again. Right before Christmas. How can it ever be possible to find that peace and happiness?
I found this book to be delightful. I want Mrs. Claus as my friend. By the way, you may need a tissue or two before the end of this book.
