The Wishing Bridge

About the book

Featuring winter charm in all its glory, The Wishing Bridge shines with the wit and heart that fans of Kristy Woodson Harvey, Nancy Thayer, and Jenny Colgan adore.

Henrietta Wegner, once the top mergers and acquisitions executive in her company, now finds herself facing competition from ambitious and young colleagues eyeing her job. With her boss threatening to lay her off at the start of the New Year unless she closes a major deal before the holidays, Henri takes a bold step: convincing her elderly parents to sell their beloved Christmas store, Wegner's, in Frankenmuth, Michigan, to a heartless corporation. It's a move that aligns with the corporate mindset she has cultivated throughout her career.

Traditionally, Henri's holiday visits home were brief, mere stopovers before returning to Detroit. However, her early December appearance at Wegner's office raises eyebrows among her family and childhood friends. As Henri juggles demanding texts from her boss and rekindles the magic of the store and her hometown, she begins to question the deal she had eagerly proposed. Time is ticking for her to make a decision that could either mark the pinnacle of her professional success or lead to the most awkward family holiday she has ever experienced.
