    About this ebook

    He only has one thing on his Christmas list…

     

    All twelve-year-old Trevor wants for Christmas is to find a family. When the long-time foster kid gets moved to a group home, he writes to Santa as a last resort. But being good is hard, and kids like him don't get anything from Santa, let alone parents.

     

    All Gary Harris wants is to help the kids at the group home across the street appreciate Christmas. Playing Santa seems easy enough—much simpler than fostering like his wife wants. But from the moment he knocks on their door, nothing about the process is simple, and he begins to wonder if connecting with the kids who always mock his cherished lawn nativity scene will be worth it.

     

    Is a Christmas miracle possible for both Trevor and Gary?

     

    All I Want for Christmas is a heartwarming short Christmas story about finding family, love, and hope. For everyone who loves feel-good happy endings and dreams coming true. Download today!

      Hello, anyone at home?’ I recognise my best friend’s voice, of course. Diane and I have been besties for 33 years. We met on our first day at the local comprehensive. Thrown together through a lottery of names, we stayed together because we made eac

      The door bangs, the house trembles, I hold my breath: Bridezilla is home. My son coined the phrase and normally I try to minimise teasing between my children (a lifetime’s habit, a lifetime’s work) but frankly, I agree with him. A blood-curdling scre
