The Holiday Inn

"A Change of Heart" by Farrah Rochon. Chandra and Derek are ending their marriage with one last family gathering with their kids at the Holiday Inn. They arrive before their children do, but a snowstorm isolates them together away from their kids. "Can You Believe" by Stefanie Worth White. Naymond wants to be a star so he can give his wife Fallon material items that they cannot afford right now. Fallon wants her husband not this person who has no time for her while he chases stardom. The Spirit of Christmas visits this unhappy couple at the Holiday Inn to show each of them a dismal lonely future alone. "By New Year's Day" by Phyllis Bourne Williams. Devon is making a Hail Mary pass to save his marriage though he knows he will need a miracle. He takes his Eve on a romantic retreat to the Holiday Inn where none of their adult kids can make demands on their mom. With a nod to It's A Wonderful Life, these three whimsical second chances uses the magic of the HOLIDAY INN to rekindle lost dreams and mend broken relationships. The three couples are developed enough so that their differences seem real, which in turn makes each pair's scenario plausible. Well written, fans will enjoy spending time at the enchanting Holiday Inn (even without Bing). Harriet Klausner
