Welcome to the newly revised, author’s preferred edition of a beloved Victorian holiday novella. Join Headmistress Rebecca Thompson and Vicar Michael Carroll of Leanna Renee Hieber’s acclaimed STRANGELY BEAUTIFUL saga of Victorian Paranormal Romantic Fantasy as two valiant, stubborn souls face their second chance at love. Set in an eerie, gaslit Victorian London in 1888, with deliberate nods to Dickens’ classic Christmas Carol, the spirits of the Strangely Beautiful saga take the Headmistress and the Vicar on a tumultuous ride through past and present to offer a beautiful future, if they’ll accept forgiveness and redemption. With the dangerous spirit world close at hand, their lives depend on it. With cameo appearances from Miss Percy Parker and the rest of the Strangely Beautiful stars, this novella can stand alone or serve as a delightful addition to a beloved, bestselling series.
