Dear Santa : a novel
(Book)

Linda Carmichael isn't feeling particularly joyful when she return home Wenatchee, Washington, for Christmas. The man she thought was "the one" has cheated on her with her best friend, and she feels completely devoid of creativity  in her graphic-design job. Not even carolers or Christmas cookies could cheer her up--but Lindy's mother, Ellen, remembers an old tradition might lift her daughters spirts. Reading through a box of childhood letters to Santa and reminiscing about what she wished for as a young girl may be just the inspiration  Lindy needs. With Ellen's encouragement, she decides to write a new letter to Santa, one that will encourage her to have faith and believe just as she's done all those years ago. Little does Lindy know that this exercise gratitude will cause her wishes to unfold before her in miraculous ways? And, thanks to some fateful twist of Christmas magic--especially an unexpected connection with a handsome former classmate--Lindy ultimately realizes that there is truly no place like hone for the holidays.
