Can a ghost show Agatha the way to happiness?

Years after the death of her husband, Lady Agatha Wendt has become a surly, cold-hearted miser, increasingly left to her own company, particularly during the holiday season. Childless and with little family, the wealthy widow fears falling into unexpected poverty and spurns even the smallest gestures of Christmas giving. A determined spirit visits Agatha and forces her to see how others regard her. He warns her change must happen.

Charles Bentley, her butler has been the one constant in a revolving household of embittered staff. Charles sees goodness in her, a trait she takes pains to hide, and finds himself attracted to the real Agatha—despite knowing he could never be with her, given the class difference between them.

Can the spirit awaken Agatha to her real fears and help her to overcome them in time to realize the gift she has always wanted?

★★★★★ “If you're like me, you read Christmas books all through the holiday. I am particularly fond of Dickens' A Christmas Carol in all its incarnations as the spirit of redemption and forgiveness is so much a part of Christmas. A Gift for Agatha will definitely be added to my holiday rotation. The heroine's motivations for her behavior are made clear, which isn't always the case, making her change of heart believable. Its a sweet easy read to make your holidays a bit brighter. A gift from an author who never disappoints.” ~ Linda Burns

★★★★★ “This story is a lovely retelling is A Christmas Carol with a few changes. The scrooge is the Lady Agatha. A forty year old childless, widow left wealthy though miserly. Lonely and alone she has only her cat and her supportive butler. With the visit of her deceased brother in a dream her life suddenly changes.” Cindy Woltman

★★★★★ “This had a wonderful second chance not only for Agatha and Charles, but a little orphan named Henry too. I even cried at a pivotal scene between the heroine and her brother, and again at the end just because it was so very touching. My only complaint would be that I wish it had been longer but for a story this short it certainly packs a huge punch. Overall it was an emotionally driven and truly memorable tale that touched my heart. I cannot recommend it enough and look forward to reading it again (which is something I rarely do) around Christmastime.” ~ A Lady
