Stephanie Scott had never been happier. She was about to marry the man of her dreams and celebrate with all her family and friends. She had worked for hours to add personal touches to the special day. When her fiance asked her to head out of town for a party she told him she had a few more things to tick off her to-do list. One was to head into Leeton High School, where she was a teacher, to finalise plans for the person who would fill in for her while she was on her honeymoon. No one thought twice when Stephanie told them of her plans. No one could predict what would happen that fateful day. No one ever thought that evil could break the heart of a town and a nation. But a psychopath had been hiding in plain sight waiting to make his move.
One country guy. One city girl. One big tree. Megan: Three nights before Christmas, and all I need to do is to pick up a Christmas tree. Never mind I’m a city girl who’s never bought a real live tree. The biggest and best tree in the lot will impress my mom and her new husband, helping them forget how I’ve neglected to visit their tiny town of Crystal Cove. Nick: Three nights before Christmas, and all I need to do is to pick up a Christmas tree. The one saved for me that I should have picked up already for the charity event at the historic mayor’s mansion on Christmas Eve. A task my mother, Mayor Bennington herself, entrusted me with. Now the biggest and best tree in the lot is gone. Lucky me, I have the chance to redeem myself by helping a recent tree buyer out of a snowy ditch. Wow, is she pretty. And in possession of my tree. Falling for the country boy is not part of Megan’s holiday plans. But for Nick, stumbling upon this city girl might be just the wake-up call he needs. OMG Christmas Tree is a sweet, slow burn, holiday romantic comedy.
Life can be challenging at times, and unpredictable, with ups and downs and all sorts of things we can’t control. It’s like driving a car on a bumpy road. We can’t wish the bumps away. We can’t control who travels those roads with us, or make the sun shine on our journey if it’s a rainy day. But we can control how we feel about it. We can let it make us angry or sad or scared, or we can stay calm, accept the challenges, and make good decisions. That’s what this story is all about. With Nini the bird as your special guide, you will take a driving journey in your imagination, a road trip in your mind, with you in the driver’s seat. You’ll learn how to face life’s obstacles and disappointments with healthy, positive “green thoughts”, and wait patiently for the rainbow that will surely follow the rain.
