2024. Sean Montgomery, a disillusioned pastor and former Army chaplain who left the military to escape the ghosts of the past, must contend with his lost faith when a soldier he once counseled takes his life. With Christmas only weeks away, he prays for guidance and a renewal of his beliefs. And when that prayer is answered, it comes from the most unlikely place he could imagine-in the home of the soldier who took his life, and in the company of a college lecturer on Charles Dickens named Meg Calhoun, who is determined to help him heal. Christmas is a time for new beginnings and romance, especially when two people find themselves on a collision course toward love.
1843. Merry Chapman is a young widow and crusader for the poor, especially the unfortunate children on the streets of London. And, she is a ghost. Or so people call her, and those desperate souls she aids and shelters. But her life isn't what others may believe, for Merry has a story few would ever guess, and she has lost more than most have ever experienced. And she has a secret, a gift known only to those with whom she chooses to share it. People such as beloved writer Charles Dickens. Their secret friendship will become the inspiration for his soon-to-be classic story, A Christmas Carol, as will her place within its beloved pages as the Ghost of Christmas Past.
A dual timeline story about love and friendship, and the power of letting go, especially when clinging to the past blinds you to what is possible in the future.
