A Christmas Carol: The Second Verse

By Mark J. Newbery

It's 25 years after the events of the original novel, a time fondly remembered by the Cratchit family as "The Transformational Christmas," when Ebenezer Scrooge returned from his journey with the spirits a reformed man. For Tim Cratchit, the tragic and premature passing of his beloved older sister Martha just days from Christmas is more than his heart can take. The loss sets forth a spiralling depression which sees him question the purpose of his life and seriously doubt the value inherent within it. Plagued by grief, an indomitable sense of self doubt, and a pronounced loathing of the physical affliction he was born with, Tim takes a lonely late Christmas Eve walk, a broken man. When he stumbles upon a peculiar abandoned public house and hears a voice beckon him from within, Tim steps inside and embarks upon a journey that holds the key to his own redemption and to the transformation of countless other lives he may be destined to touch. Honouring the spirit of Dickens' beloved original and enriched with the heart of the festive classic It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol The Second Verse will take you on a magical journey of discovery where the wonder of possibility meets the power of self belief.
