Book Discussion - A Wish for Winter

With echoes of classic Hollywood love stories, Viola Shipman’s latest winter charmer is sure to tug on heartstrings and delight readers who love books about books, missed connections and the magic of Christmas.

A successful bookstore owner in a tight-knit Michigan lakeside community, Susan is facing down forty, and she can’t help but see everything she hasn’t achieved including a love match of her own. Everyone in her small town believes it’s Susan’s destiny to marry a man dressed as Santa, just like her mother and grandmother before her. So, it seems unfair that the man she makes an instant connection with at a Santa Run is lost in the crowd before she can get his name.

What follows is Susan and her friends’ hilarious and heartwarming search for the mystery Santa—covering twelve months of social media snafus, authors behaving badly and dating fails.

Please bring a snack (sweet or savory) to share with the group - usually 10-12 people.
