Henrietta "Henri" Wegner made the difficult choice long ago to leave her small town for a big-time career in mergers and acquisitions. Now, at 52 years old, Henri seems to have lost the hunger that has driven her for so long and teeters on the precipice of losing her job when she makes a last-ditch effort to appease her boss-- she will convince her parents to sell their beloved, family-owned Christmas store to a huge corporation. Her cartoonishly evil boss agrees, but only if they can seal the deal by Christmas Eve. Henri heads back to her hometown of Frankenmuth, Michigan (aka Christmas Town), and immediately feels misgivings as she reconnects with her high-school sweetheart, her best friend, and her family. Will she keep her promise to her boss, or will the magic of Christmas change Henri's mind? Full of nostalgia for the charms of a simple, small-town life full of friends and family, this heartwarming holiday tale is sure to please readers who want a gentle, cozy Christmas read in the vein of a Hallmark movie.
