Christmas at Ruby's — Holly Schindler

~Christmas at Ruby's inspired an ongoing holiday series. I Remember You and Sentimental Journey, additional Ruby's Place books, are available now.~

Welcome to Ruby's, where the Christmas spirit is alive and well.

Ruby's Place (the classy family-friendly nightspot that once lit the night sky in the tiny fictional town of Sullivan, Missouri) is no more -- closed for decades -- but that doesn't keep those who once shared an eggnog or plate of homemade marshmallows from remembering the tinsel-wrapped moments Ruby's supplied come Christmas.

On a snowy holiday evening, feeling a bit down on her luck, a middle-aged Angela finds herself back at Ruby's, staring through its foggy, grimy window to remember the Christmases she spent there with her favorite aunt as a child. Could the best Christmas present of all simply be spending one last moment with that special loved one, in a place where memories were born?

At Ruby's, it seems, the “spirits” are not confined to just the dusty liquors behind the bar, and such a Christmas wish might not be made in vain.
