With unabashed winter charm, The Wishing Bridge sparkles with the humor and heart fans of Kristy Woodson Harvey, Nancy Thayer and Jenny Colgan love most.
Once the hottest mergers and acquisitions executive in the company, Henrietta Wegner can see the ambitious and impossibly young up-and-comers gunning for her job. When Henri's boss makes it clear she'll be starting the New Year unemployed unless she can close a big deal before the holidays, Henri impulsively tells him that she can convince her aging parents to sell Wegner's—their iconic Frankenmuth, Michigan, Christmas store—to a massive, soulless corporation. It's the kind of deal cool, corporate Henri has built her career on.
Home for the holidays has typically meant a perfunctory twenty-four-hour visit for Henri, then back to Detroit as fast as her car will drive her. So turning up at the Wegner's offices in early December raises some eyebrows: from her delighted, if puzzled, parents to her suspicious brother and curious childhood friends. But as Henri fields impatient texts from her boss while reconnecting with the magic of the store and warmth of her hometown, what sounded great in the boardroom begins to lose its luster in real life. She's running out of time to pull the trigger on what could be the greatest success of her career...or the most awkward family holiday of her life.
Includes the bonus novella Christmas Angels

      Henrietta "Henri" Wegner made the difficult choice long ago to leave her small town for a big-time career in mergers and acquisitions. Now, at 52 years old, Henri seems to have lost the hunger that has driven her for so long and teeters on the precipice of losing her job when she makes a last-ditch effort to appease her boss-- she will convince her parents to sell their beloved, family-owned Christmas store to a huge corporation. Her cartoonishly evil boss agrees, but only if they can seal the deal by Christmas Eve. Henri heads back to her hometown of Frankenmuth, Michigan (aka Christmas Town), and immediately feels misgivings as she reconnects with her high-school sweetheart, her best friend, and her family. Will she keep her promise to her boss, or will the magic of Christmas change Henri's mind? Full of nostalgia for the charms of a simple, small-town life full of friends and family, this heartwarming holiday tale is sure to please readers who want a gentle, cozy Christmas read in the vein of a Hallmark movie.
