A Wisteria Christmas (Novella) E S Holmes

The holidays were quickly approaching, the time of year Carrie anticipated the most. She looked forward to the parties, the time with friends and family, the festivities filling New York City with life. This year though, things were different. There is a heaviness in her heart as she observes so many couples around her - holding hands and sharing sweet, tender glances. This had never bothered her before. Carrie enjoyed her life as it was. She was blessed with a fulfilling job, great friends, and a family who demonstrated unconditional love. But a ticking time bomb in her chest reminded her that she was almost thirty and still alone. She feared that maybe she would always be this way - alone. Her parents' love story had always been one she admired, the kind of story she wished for herself someday. After a failed speed-dating attempt, a coffee spill, and a tragic accident, will Carrie ever find the love of her life like her parents had found in each other? Amidst the pristine snow of the holiday season, the pungent aroma of pine boughs, the warmth of hot cocoa, and a bookstore with love stories etched in its walls, A Wisteria Christmas has the ability to create miracles.
