Christmas Advent 2015 - Day 15 - Wrapped in Red by Mika Jolie

Wrapped in Red by Mika Jolie

A short story/Novelette

Christmas is a time to be merry and bright. For Minka Montgomery, it’s anything but.

While Martha’s Vineyard bursts with festive lights and good cheer, a black shadow parades around and within Minka. With her Christmas spirit conspicuously absent, her marriage to Jason Montgomery has snowballed and is spiraling out of control. The weight of motherhood – and her new role as a wife – presses on her shoulders. Self-doubt creeps in and swiftly turns to hopelessness.

As her anxiety level rises, can she share what’s in her heart with her husband? Is there a branch of hope to hold on to? With Christmas only twelve days away, can she find her Christmas spirit and rediscover the true meaning of the season?

Author Mika Jolie lives in New Jersey with her happy Chaos—her husband and their energizer bunnies. She loves to write about life experiences and matters of the heart. Let’s face it, people are complicated and love can be messy. When she’s not weaving life and romance into evocative tales, you can find her on a hiking adventure, apple picking, or whatever her three men can conjure up.

The first thing Mika thinks of at the thought of Christmas is...

I think of family. We host a big dinner on Christmas day. It's sheer madness and we absolutely love it.

What makes Christmas special for Mika...

Where do I begin? There's the look on our boys faces on Christmas morning . It's a blast surprising our kids with gifts under the tree. The boys Christmas plays. Going to the farm for our Christmas tree and hot chocolate.

Every year we go to our town's Christmas tree lightning and on Christmas Eve we attend the town's choir and Santa comes. Christmas Eve mass. The same memories we make every year, but cherish equally if not more each year.

Mika's Christmas Wish for 2015…

I don't really have a wish list this year. Maybe the Women's Bean Boots by L.L. Bean and a new lens for my camera.

Hover over each Christmas bauble for more great books

Some great book ideas on the tree! May have to check some of them out. Wrapped in red sounds great, been a while since i've read any Stateside literature so perhaps I will download a copy.

My Book Vow

I will continue to treasure my books every day

To admire them all on display

There gilted titling on colourful covers and spines

There beautiful designs that seem to come to life

To cherish my most precious book

To hold it in my hands and connect to the story and characters

Escaping into another world as

You gently turn each page

Feeling the books own unique history

The smell of the old pages and print

Books are our history, present and our future

Without them the world would be a very sad place indeed

by Sharon Martin

Our Favourite Book Quote

We were reading a book the other day and laughed out loud when we realised we could of been reading about ourselves or any other bookseller for that matter, we thought you might enjoy the little snippet....

However dull and dingy the shop may have appeared in the eyes of most people, to one person it was the most delightful spot on earth, and that person was none other than the owner of this collection of literature, some of which was remarkable for its antiquity if nothing else.

Bartholomew Stranges whole world was in his shop, beyond it he had no ambition, no affection, no desires. He loved his books simply for their own sakes, not for what he got by them, indeed it cost him such a pang to part with them, that if it had not been a necessity he would have refused to do so. Often if anyone wished to purchase a favourite book he would put a large price on it so as to keep it in his own possession, and be willing to wear the scantiest clothes, and live on the plainest food, if by this means he could keep his precious treasures.....

From Beckie's Mission or Mr Bartholomew's Little Girl by L Marston, published by John F Shaw & Co, circa 1919
