His newest book is an utter flop, the critics have turned against him, relatives near and far hound him for money. While his wife plans a lavish holiday party for their ever-expanding family and circle of friends, Dickens has visions of the poor house.

As Dickens' deadlines close in, Eleanor propels him on a Scrooge-like journey that tests everything he believes about generosity, friendship, ambition, and love. The story he writes will change Christmas forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamantha Silva \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the novels\u003ci\u003e Love and Fury\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Mr. Dickens and His Carol, \u003c\/i\u003e and a screenwriter who has sold projects to Paramount, Universal, and New Line Cinema.
