A holiday tale that has been described as “A Christmas Carol” meets “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
Morgan Stern, a successful yet self-centered and spiritually bankrupt business professional, lives the life she always wanted. She has money, power, and influence, all driven by her ambitious and uncompromising nature and in her world of absolutes and unyielding focus, there is no room for old friends, relationships, or any semblance of love or family.
A chance encounter with an angry homeless man one cold, December morning leaves Morgan questioning the familiarity she senses. Distracted, she steps into the path of an oncoming car and is fatally struck. Disoriented and confused, Morgan is visited by a mysterious angel, who explains how she can gain entry into the heaven only by going back and saving someone else.
Morgan agrees to this and the angel sends her back … 15 years into the past. Her past! A life that she had long-forgotten and one she had turned away from long ago. Not knowing who it is that she is meant to save, a vague, indistinct memory leads her to a gritty reality that looms close to her childhood home, a reality that she had never contemplated.
George Hornsby, the scrawny, clumsy teenager is a part of that reality. Is George the person she’s meant to save? How can she know for sure? With no guidance, Morgan must choose the path to her salvation. Faced with disappointment and relentless obstacles, she realizes that in order to save George she must change the hearts and minds of an entire community. In the process, she learns that the personal cost of real change is something that some are unwilling to pay.
Just as Morgan begins to believe that love, redemption, and grace are possible, her efforts begin to unravel to a devastating end. With every ounce of determination that Morgan can gather, she fights to save not only George, but others whom she’s come to love, while putting her own fate at risk. $2.99 on Kindle.
