Book description
The ghost of Christmas Present... A Christmas spirit meddles in the
lives of two young men in the hope that she can bring them more than
just holiday cheer. Bill Calder, out of a relationship, out of a job,
and just plain out of luck becomes the object of attention and affection
for Agnes - the spirit of Christmas present - and a little old lady with
a mission. Together, she and Bill apply for a Christnas job in a New
York department store where a desperate manager hires Bill as Santa -
and Agnes as his helper. It's not long beofre Bill catches the eye of
Tom Davenport, a store 'employee', but Bill's low self-esteem after the
dismal turns his life has taken, won't allow him to hope for too much
from Tom. Agnes however has other ideas, and with a little magic at her
fingertips, manages to manoeuvre the two young men into each other's
arms. Thinking her job done, Agnes' satisfaction is ruffled when Tom
reveals to Bill who he really is, and Bill's pride won't allow him to
take their relationship further. So, a little more magic is needed...
