Santa’s got a problem.
A funny, humane Christmas fable about family, tradition, and a Santa who breaks the mold. Whatever you think the book is, it probably isn’t that.
The Story
Ten-year-old Joy has one Christmas wish: for her Marine father to come home safely. Santa cannot promise that—and this Christmas Eve, mistaken for an intruder and separated from his sleigh, he has troubles of his own. Now he needs Joy and an unlikely group of strangers to save Christmas before midnight—assuming anyone believes a word he says.
Relaunch version coming soon.
