Once Upon a Christmas Carol by Melody Carlson

 Once upon a Christmas Carol by Melody Carlson - 176 pages


True to Melody Carlson's style, this is a heartwarming, uplifting Christmas story.

Although Carol Langstrom works in the design industry where she manages seasonal decor for the wealthy, she does not like Christmas.  She grew up in a dysfunctional family.  Carol at best tolerates her mother's narcissistic personality.

This Christmas Carol just wants to get away.  She books herself a trip to the Bahamas.  She can't wait to get away, but as fate would have it, her flight is redirected to snowy Michigan.  She is desperate to find a place to stay until she can get a new flight.  All hotels in the area are booked so she contacts her mother's estranged sister that just so happens to live on a farm in the area.  

Her aunt is overjoyed to finally meet Carol and have her stay with her.  What starts out to be a short overnight layover with her Aunt turns into a longer stay and a Christmas that Carol has never had the joy of experiencing.  Carol finds all kinds of blessings in this unexpected stay; along with love and some family mendings.
