#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance. It absolutely charmed me.”—Reese Witherspoon (A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick) “The perfect book to get lost in . . . Josie Silver’s characters sneak their way into your heart and stay.”—Jill Santopolo, author of The Light We Lost Two people. Ten chances. One unforgettable love story. Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend Sarah giddily introduces her new boyfriend to Laurie. It's Jack, the man from the bus. It would be. What follows for Laurie, Sarah and Jack is ten years of friendship, heartbreak, missed opportunities, roads not taken, and destinies reconsidered. One Day in December is a joyous, heartwarming and immensely moving love story to escape into and a reminder that fate takes inexplicable turns along the route to happiness.

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Apparition Jack didn’t believe in ghosts.... until he met Josie! Jack Jeremiah was a teacher during the day and an artist and photographer any other time. When he rented a room for a studio at the old hotel, he got more than he had hoped for. Josie had been waiting for him to help her tell the truth about her untimely death, which had been fabricated by story tellers for years. She decided to reveal herself to Jack in a most mystic fashion but, not before Mariah comes on the scene and complicates matters. Now Jack is thrown into a confusing triangle with trust, mystery, companionship, some surprises and even love as the main components of the equation. The task of revealing the truth is further complicated by others who come on the scene where Josie is concerned but, were already present when Jack started his studio in the old hotel, which had been converted into a shopping mall. Entering the scene were the instigating barber; the nervous housekeeper and his boss, the maintenance man who gets involved unintentionally, and a few skeptical persons such as the feathered lady whom Josie gets back at for delivering a few unkind words about Josie’s behavior while she was still alive. Other circumstances that challenge Jack’s denial of ghosts becomes further complicated as well, such as: when an old German professor gives Jack more proof that the possibility of Josie existing could be a reality; also, the fact that Mariah, Jack’s model, and Josie are in a struggle to gain Jack’s attention. Apparition is a mixture of suspense, fantastic situations and predicaments, coupled with instances of love and laughter, usually orchestrated by Josie the ghost.
