About Bright Lights, Big Christmas
It’s a long way from a Christmas tree farm in the mountains of North Carolina to a certain street corner in Greenwich Village, but Kerry Tolliver — newly unemployed and romantically unattached — reluctantly agrees to make the trek and live in a tiny vintage camper with her gruff older brother (and his dog, Queenie) out of family loyalty.
Selling Christmas trees at the family’s stand on a New York City sidewalk, Kerry begins to feel at home, succumbing to the charms of the quirky neighborhood, and making new friends who become like family … and maybe more. Surrounded by warm childhood memories, sparkling possibility, and the magic of Christmas, will this small-town girl surrender her heart to the bright lights of the big city?
