    About this ebook

    Dr. Lauren Spencer is missing something in her life. Her medical practice has become mundane and ordinary. Her children are growing older, and her husband is rarely home anymore--since he got a promotion at work. Frustrated on Christmas Eve, after her "thoughtless" husband sent her to the department store for a last minute gift for his boss, Lauren engages in an altercation that will change her life.

      Finding Christmas - Victoria Schwimley

      Finding Christmas

      Lauren Spencer pushed her shopping cart through the department store in a fury. Her bulging eyes, rapid breathing, and slightly reddened face told people to get out of her way. She just couldn't believe she was shopping again. She'd finished her Christmas shopping back in October—so she'd avoid this last-minute chaos that was supposed to be a joyous time of the year.

You will not get my perfect gift! Lauren shouted.

      They both grabbed it at the same time. Let go! the other woman shouted.

      Not on your life, Lauren said between clenched teeth. I saw it first.

      The woman yanked
