The Christmas Star (Paperback)

Real estate mogul Russell Dodge has coveted Maine's pristine Sheffield Peak for years, so when its owner finally decides to sell, Dodge hurries to Maine to close the deal right before Christmas. On his drive to the plane that will take him back to Manhattan, he daydreams about his plans to turn the Peak into an opulent ski resort with a three hundred room hotel, two restaurants, a health club, condos and much more. Euphoric, he takes narrow Sheffield road to the airport instead of the highway in order to catch one more look at his prize - a fateful decision that sparks a traumatic turn of events that sends him into a very different world from the one he has always known, a world where people don't have much - just everything that matters - and makes him question the way he has always lived.
