Description: Critical acclaim: "[A] richly imagined continuation of Dickens' beloved classic," (NewInBooks) "an enlightening ... thought-provoking tale" (Heather B. Moore, USA Today bestselling author), and "a celebration of hope, unity, and the transformative power of giving" (Readers' Favorite) that "belongs to a Scrooge who grows deeper, wiser, and more human" (BookLife).
Step back into the heart of Victorian London with A Christmas Reborn, the stirring sequel to the timeless classic A Christmas Carol. Ebenezer Scrooge, once the embodiment of greed and isolation, has become a cherished figure of compassion and generosity. But even as his life overflows with the spirit of Christmas, a dark tide rises. Greed, ignorance, and want remain entrenched, threatening to consume the soul of London. As the industrial age accelerates its grip on the city, Scrooge confronts new trials that test his resolve and his faith in humanity. The death of a loved one shakes his foundation, while the unchecked ambitions of the elite threaten to crush the working class under their heel. Scrooge must go beyond mere charity-he must inspire a lasting change, embedding the spirit of Christmas in the hearts of a generation torn between hope and despair. Guided by newfound revelations and spectral visitations, Scrooge embarks on a journey not only to uplift the living but also to free the departed from their self-forged chains of regret. Can one man, armed with empathy and wisdom, combat the growing shadows and ensure a brighter future for his beloved city? Richly woven in the evocative style of Charles Dickens, A Christmas Reborn by Scott A. Johnson captures the magic, moral lessons, and enduring warmth of its predecessor. This heartening tale will rekindle the true spirit of Christmas, inspiring readers to embrace community, empathy, and the enduring power of goodwill. A must-read for fans of Dickens and anyone yearning to rediscover the joy of the season. About the author: From a young age, multi-bestselling author Scott A. Johnson's imagination knew no bounds-encouraged by extended family and a perceptive elementary school teacher, he spun fascinating tales, even going so far as to illustrate and stitch together one of his stories as a homemade cardboard book. Now, his mission is simple: to craft stories so captivating that readers forget to check their phones-even just for a little while. He ambitiously hopes to write a novel so engrossing that someone, somewhere, will miss their train stop while reading it. If time travel were possible, Scott is certain he'd spend far too much time eavesdropping on Dickens and Twain-purely for research purposes, of course.
