An Excerpt
The sun hadn ’ t risen when Chrystelle Bach drove the limousine down the Beverly Hills street lined with towering palm trees . For the two and a half years she ’ d lived in Hollywood , she ’ d never get used to palm trees decorated with Christmas lights .
She ’ d spent the last two Christmases away from home , away from Gwilliam Park , Colorado . Away from family and friends preparing for the holiday that warmed her heart . She scraped her teeth over her lower lip . Though she called home every week , she was too busy working three jobs to long for the small town she never thought she ’ d leave . Except at Christmas . If she hadn ’ t wanted to be a scriptwriter , she ’ d still be living in the quaint mountain town , singing Christmas carols , drinking cocoa and meeting friends at the local shops and restaurants .
The cold fingers of disappointment closed around her heart . There wasn ’ t much Christmas spirit in Hollywood .
