Veronica and her daughter's family dynamics change quickly from seemingly happy to despair in this intimate story of a devastating divorce that threatens to destroy Christmas.

Not for the faint of heart, this tale, told in Veronica's own voice, relates how she, an Honorary Consul, got three Americans release from jail in El Salvador. It's full of surprises.

What could a jail cell possibly have in common with saving Christmas?

We all at some point in our lives get our hearts broken. It's part of being human. It's so easy to be happy when things are going well, but what about those hard times?

How do you ever pull yourself up from the depth of despair? There is a secret of how I found peace and joy at one of the darkest times in my life during my favorite time of the year,

the Christmas season, and showing how to do that, was the main reason I wrote this book. I wanted to give people like me-and possibly you-some hope and peace of mind.

This engaging story will bring a little Christmas cheer to your bookshelf all year long!
