On Christmas Eve five years ago, Holly was visited by three ghosts who showed her how selfish and spoiled she'd become. They tried to convince her to mend her ways.

And then she died.
Now she's stuck working for the top-secret company Project Scrooge--as the latest Ghost of Christmas Past.

This one is new to me! Besides My Lady Jane, I've not read anything by Cynthia Hand (and that one was co-written). I love this cover! So simple yet so expressive. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Natalie. =)
