A Guitar for Christmas: A holiday story on six strings

Written by Steve Moretti

Narrated by Duke Holmes and Sue Kisch

Can an old electric guitar help when what Roland Hope really needs is a Christmas miracle?

"You made me cry. Thank you for a true, not cheesy, but great Christmas story!" – Tina Lincoln

It had been one year, and Roland Hope had still not learned a damn thing. Now, the week before Christmas, his world is falling apart.

His wife wants a divorce. His siblings hate him. Even his drunk, homeless father tells him to bugger off.

And his career as a high-paid contract negotiator is in danger of imploding if he wavers from the ruthless tactics that propelled him to a life of privilege.

In this contemporary holiday story, Roland turns to an unlikely source of inspiration – an old Fender Stratocaster guitar gifted to him by his once-famous musical father.

Facing the prospect of his bleakest Christmas ever, Roland discovers the old guitar still has some tricks left in it, as he rekindles a love for music he thought had died long ago.

In the spirit of It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, the story of one man’s musical salvation will confirm your faith in the most magical season of the year.

Audiobook version includes original music, 'Is It Really Christmas' - performed by Matt Davies, Ania Hejnar and Duke Holmes
