The Chain You Forge

About this ebook
Inspired by Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol.
Benita Holden has more money than she'll ever spend. As a personal injury attorney, her bank account grows in large sums. What does she spend her money on? Nothing. What does she do for fun? Work. Her life is one of routine, from the moment she wakes until she goes to bed at night.
That all changes one night when she gets a visit from her father, a man who's been dead seven years now…
