Dee lent me this book to read while in Montana with Adam and Danette in December 2024. It was EXCELLENT! I read it in 2 days. It’s a re-telling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Set in Utah, the main character is James Kier. He’s a ruthless, rich businessman who uses people, hurts people, screws people. One morning, he wakes up in a lodge in Park City to read his obituary. Apparently, he died the day before in a fiery wreck. He reads the comments on the on-line obituary and discovers how much he is despised. It hurts him deeply. He returns home and, with the help of his loyal secretary, he tries to right the wrongs to a list of 5 people he has hurt deeply. What happens is some very realistic story-telling. What a fast-paced, fun read! Thank you, Dee!
