Looking for Travolta Vicki Doudera

"Vicki Doudera does a masterful job casting a classic tale onto a picturesque coastal Maine community and provides a deeper resonance to its ageless message. It'll bring tears to your eyes in this season of giving... or anytime."-John Viehman, Executive Director for United Midcoast CharitiesMillicent Plenty is a scheming, stingy Scrooge of a woman who makes everyone around her miserable, including hard-working Dena Pease, mother of four and a waitress at the local cafe. Christmas is approaching, and while the rest of the town gets into the holiday spirit and waits for a glimpse of the actor John Travolta (whose island home is nearby), Dena's hardscrabble life grows even more bleak, especially when she loses her job thanks to a complaint lodged by Millicent. Just as things look most desperate for Dena and her family, Christmas Eve brings a trio of Travolta-themed ghosts to Millicent Plenty's mansion, showing the miserly woman how her past, present, and future affect others. Will their spirited intervention be enough to melt Millicent's cold heart and reveal the true meaning of Christmas? Settle in by the fire to warm your soul with a modern Maine retelling of a holiday classic and experience a magical transformation that would make Charles Dickens proud. Net proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit United Midcoast Charities, a nonprofit organization energizing and supporting dozens of Midcoast Maine nonprofit agencies providing food, housing, and economic security to those in need, and Midcoast Habitat for Humanity, a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, making the dream of safe, affordable home ownership for low-income Maine families a reality.
