Rare Gems

The Story of Ruby's Favorite Regular—Her Best Friend, Elizabeth

The best Christmas present Elizabeth Rossi ever received was given to her by a complete stranger—plucked from the folds of a desperate woman's tattered winter garment during the height of the Depression. Forty years later, the stranger is back, her face popping up outside the dress store Elizabeth owns in Sullivan, Missouri. As Elizabeth fights to track the stranger down, to find out what her sudden return means, she'll bump headlong into another miraculous Christmas gift—love, here, at her half-century mark. And during a magical Christmas Eve at Ruby's Place, Elizabeth will finally realize the true wonder of that long-ago Christmas present.
