MISTLETOE MAGIC
Mistletoe Magic is a heartwarming collection of Christmas tales by Nancy Christie that captures the unexpected joys, miracles, and magic of the holiday season. In these eight delightful stories, readers are invited into the lives of characters seeking connection, comfort, and the true meaning of Christmas.
Meet Lucinda in Lucinda and the Christmas List, a young woman in search of a little elf-magic to rekindle her holiday spirit, and an elderly widow in The Snow Globe who finds solace and companionship through a treasured gift from her late husband. In The Little Red Sock, a young boy clings to his belief in Santa despite past letdowns, while Twelve Days Before Christmas brings a stressed-out mom closer to her family amid a flurry of holiday mishaps.
From a touching reminder in Christmas Present that giving can be the greatest gift, to the unexpected redemption found in Charley Catches the Christmas Spirit, where a case of credit card fraud takes a surprising turn, each story reveals the heart of the season. In Holiday Reunion, a young woman learns to embrace the warmth of unexpected guests, and the titular Mistletoe Magic follows four characters whose lives intertwine as they discover that a simple sprig of mistletoe can bring love and joy beyond their expectations.
With humor, tenderness, and a touch of magic, Mistletoe Magic is a collection that captures the essence of Christmas, offering readers a glimpse into the love, hope, and kindness that make the holiday season special.
