Publisher's Summary

Will a magical kiss change Bessie's life forever?

The Christmas holidays arrive on Bessie's magical mountain. Her village awakes on the first of December and goes back to sleep at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve.

Little did Bessie know that today, when the 10-o'clock train rolls to a stop at the summit of the snow-covered mountain, Matthew, a handsome stranger, will climb down from the coach car and enter her world.

Bessie's father warns her she can only be Matthew's friend. Time is short on the mountain, and he must leave on the midnight train.

He cannot miss it!

If you like the Cinderella and Snow White stories, you'll love Once upon a Christmas Eve. This short story combines the scent of Christmas cookies baking, twinkling tree lights, and the struggles of young love.
