It's a Wonderful Life meets Groundhog Day in USA Today
bestselling author Annie Rains' new novel, as a woman dangerously close
to losing it all receives an unexpected Christmas gift that prompts a
surprising journey of self-discovery . . . and another chance at
happiness.
What if you could have one more day with someone you lost?
Diana Merriman, a physical therapist, is probably the only person in the
small town of Snow Haven, North Carolina, who isn't looking forward to
Christmas. It's been three weeks since her fiancé
Linus was critically injured when a car hit him as he biked home from
the toy store he owns and manages. Watching him open his eyes is the
only gift she wants, but she can't help losing a little more hope every
day.
But an unexpected visit from a friendly neighbor and finding a snow
globe of Snow Haven--a gift Linus had hidden in the closet--the night
before Christmas Eve changes things in ways Diana never would have
imagined. Because on Christmas Eve Diana wakes up to find that it's
not--Christmas Eve, that is. Instead, it's somehow December 4 all over
again, the day Linus got hurt, and as mystified as Diana is, she
immediately starts a plan to save her partner from his fate.
Nothing is that simple, of course. Instead of a single repeat of that
day, Diana finds herself in an endless loop of December 4, experiencing
every possible variation of events. Along the way, she uncovers
startling truths about herself, her relationship, and even her career
that illustrate the ways she's retreated from her life--and in the face
of life's slights and outright blows, from her deepest feelings.
Suddenly hope is second only to joy as Diana opens her heart to the
people she loves in every way she can.
