About the book
Viola Shipman, the author of USA TODAY bestsellers, beautifully captures the enchanting spirit of Christmas in this heartwarming novella. Memories are the key to healing and rediscovering the magic of the holiday season.
Debbie Hutchins is not exactly the most festive person, except for her online alter ego, the Sugarplum Fairy. Behind the whimsical screen name, Debbie runs a holiday hustle by buying old decorations from estate sales and selling them online for a profit. As a child, Debbie cherished her collection of holiday trinkets, especially her beloved nutcrackers. Inspired by her grandmother, Debbie dreamt of a future as vibrant and dreamlike as The Nutcracker ballet. However, her dreams came crashing down when her grandmother passed away.
One day, Debbie stumbles upon a treasure trove of authentic vintage nutcrackers and initially plans to sell them quickly. But when she discovers a note hidden among the collection, written from a great-grandmother to her great-grandson, Debbie's heart softens. Memories of her own grandmother come rushing back, prompting her to embark on a new mission for the holidays - to reunite the heirlooms with their rightful owner. Though helping a grieving family won't be easy, the process may just help Debbie reconnect with the Christmas dreamer inside of her.
