Hot Chocolate

Laura Ranger, Steve Soderquist

Do you believe in miracles?Cara and Lane lost their parents on Christmas Eve five years ago to a boating accident off the Gulf of Mexico. Every year since, they've continued the tradition of buying hot chocolate from Jimmy's Donut Shop and taken them to the pier, their pier, to say a prayer and leave the two cups for their parents to come down from Heaven and collect. When two strangers showed up and the cups of hot chocolate left on the railing went missing, further investigating led the girls to a discovery they couldn't have imagined in their wildest dreams... Miracles at Christmas can and do happen. Bonus Story from Laura Ranger! How do old people perceive the world around them when they near the end? Mrs. O'Malley was a miserable old woman.

Even the staff only did what was necessary to properly maintain her. Abbey was an eighteen-year-old girl in mourning. She ended up doing chores in a nursing home away from any interaction with the residents. After the two worlds collide, what happens will shock the staff and change Abbey's life forever.
