Have you ever had a holiday cookie that came with a set of instructions? You're about to. In this sweet, heart-warming holiday romance, a precocious twelve-year-old named Luci, short for Lucia, never met her mom because she died giving birth. Her dad, a Florida Gulf Coast Island veterinarian, loved his late wife so much that he does not date or look at any other woman even though women are attracted to him. He still wears his wedding ring and, every Saturday night, shares a box of her mom's memories, hoping to keep her alive in Luci's heart. Luci's elderly Swedish next-door neighbor Meta loves Luci like an adopted granddaughter. When Luci's dad gets called in for an emergency on her birthday which happens to be Saint Lucia's Day, Luci and her dog Chester visit Meta. Meta gives Luci a surprise birthday gift as she leaves to take home and open later with her dad. Then the holiday magic begins. A CHRISTMAS WISH FOR LOVE is an enchanting and inspiring story you will want to share with others!
