Publisher's summary

In this charming and heartwarming retelling of Frank Capra’s classic It’s a Wonderful Life, Camille Pagán, best-selling author of This Won’t End Well and I’m Fine and Neither Are You, introduces us to Bailey, a dutiful yet sharp-witted 30-something who finds herself on the verge of a nervous breakdown as Christmas Eve approaches. As if it wasn’t enough that Bailey’s husband has just cheated on her, the family business she’s been running since her parents died, which employs most of her small town, is about to go under. But even as she’s questioning whether her life has any meaning, Bailey bumps into a handsome stranger who claims to know her - and through a series of strange events, sheds new light on what it means to make a difference in this messy, wonderful world.

Fun holiday story. Simple but engaging.

narrator was easy to listen to and did a good job using voices to differentiate the characters. The story was simple and seemed to be inspired by the classic It's a Wonderful Life. I believe I will read this story every Christmas.

Cute and entertaining

A great little twist on one of my favorite Christmas stories. The bells ring, miracles happen and angel get wings.
