Book Excerpt:
“Dear Santa...”
Jaleel and Eva Gordon haven’t lived in the same house since the summer, and this Christmas, their son’s concise Christmas wish list will change all that.
As a former college phenom turned Bronx Ballers’ shooting guard, Jaleel Gordon hasn’t reached his level of success, doing the bare minimum for his struggling team. He’s been grinding and grinding hard, but success doesn’t come easily or without its share of sacrifices. For Jaleel, his most significant sacrifice was his relationship with his soon-to-be ex-wife Eva.
Business owner, Eva Gordon is so through with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Jaleel. She’s no stranger to hard work, but even she knows when to work hard and to play harder. After patiently waiting for her husband to tap into that philosophy, she’s given up on him altogether. This is why six months ago, after yet another explosive argument with Jaleel, Eva demanded a divorce... even though her heart is taking a bit longer to catch up to her demand.
This Christmas, Eva and Jaleel’s son isn’t asking Santa for a new bike or video game. On the contrary, what baby boy wants won’t be able to fit underneath the tree at all. His one and only wish this Christmas is to spend the holiday with his separated parents... under one roof. So, Jaleel is coming home for Christmas... but can Eva and Jaleel put aside their differences to make it through the holiday intact and in one piece?"

Review:
"Home For Christmas" by Brookelyn Mosley
My Rationalization:
What a sweet quick short novella read of Jaleel and Eva Gordon's second chance at love. Their child
Jaleel Jr. was brilliant in wanting his parents back together, so he had a plan with rules that worked. I found it interesting in what had lacked with Jaleel, and Eva was not able to communicate and forgive. And spending this Christmas holiday together was just what was needed that got this family back together and with Jaleel learning that material things weren't everything.
