Do you cringe when people just stop by - during the holidays?
Fans of uplifting women's fiction and holiday dramas will love this witty tale of family feuds, forgiveness, and karma.
Christmas was supposed to be simple. Instead, Willa Nawicki finds herself facing the loss of her mother, the emotional distance between herself and her daughter, and the painful realization that life rarely unfolds according to plan. As the holiday season descends on Pasadena, Willa struggles to hold her family together while wrestling with guilt, regret, and the fear that she has somehow failed the people she loves most.
Meanwhile, Bobbi, her fiercely independent daughter, is trying to rebuild her life after difficult years and discover whether broken relationships can truly be repaired. Hovering over their struggles is an unseen observer-a mysterious voice existing somewhere between worlds, watching human lives unfold and quietly attempting to guide events toward balance. But even the best intentions cannot prepare anyone for the arrival of a man long thought lost forever.
Just days before Christmas, Willa's estranged father unexpectedly returns, bringing with him unanswered questions, old wounds, and a shocking claim that threatens everything the family has built. As grief, love, resentment, and laughter intertwine, generations collide in ways no one could have imagined. Through awkward reunions, neighborhood friendships, unexpected visitors, and moments both heartbreaking and hilarious, the Nawicki family discovers that healing often arrives in the most inconvenient forms.
Rich with humor, compassion, and memorable characters, Christmas Karma is an uplifting story about family, forgiveness, and the invisible threads that connect us all. Blending heartfelt women's fiction with spiritual themes and holiday charm, Gerald Everett Jones delivers a deeply moving reminder that redemption is always possible-and that sometimes the greatest gifts arrive wrapped in life's biggest surprises.
Whether you're searching for an inspiring Christmas read or a story that celebrates the power of love, hope, and second chances, Christmas Karma will stay with you long after the decorations have been put away.
The author says this book is his homage to Anne Tyler, whom he regards as his literary mother.
The author's screenplay adaptation of Christmas Karma won the 2016 Writers Guild of America West Diversity Award. Included in the Prize-Winning Literary Fiction Series from LaPuerta Books and Media.
