WOMEN’S FICTION

“I laughed, cried, and couldn't put it down.”—ABBY JIMENEZ, New York Times bestselling author

Kat Simon’s life revolves around stories: the ones she gets paid to chronicle on the radio every weekday morning, those embedded within the treasures she finds at her favorite antique shop, Whimsy and Wu, and the ones in her head that tell her she’s not good enough. But when she thrifts a gorgeous vase that turns out to be an urn occupied by the spirit of former southern socialite, Marjorie Lockwood, Kat gets a bigger story than she bargained for.

Marjorie is bold, confident, and self-assured—everything Kat isn’t. Unable to keep her judgments to herself, Marjorie decides to help Kat understand why her dating life is a disaster. Meanwhile, Kat is determined to help Marjorie figure out what unfinished business is keeping her from going into the light, so they can both finally rest in peace. What ensues is a journey of hilarious hijinks (how does one excuse bringing an urn everywhere they go without raising suspicion?) and profound self discovery. Marjorie & Me is a delightfully funny and heartwarming story about the magical bonds that exist between women and the transcendent power of unconditional love.

“With unforgettable characters, warmth, and humor, not to mention some adorable dogs, Melissa Grace tells a genuine and heartwarming story about love, family, and the holidays.” —Bryn Donovan, author of Her Knight at the Museum

Five years ago, Dr. Lindsey Haggerty inherited her late father’s veterinary clinic, and with it, a constant reminder of how quickly she could lose those she loves most. So when a handsome new client asks her out, she's quick to shut it down. It’s Christmastime, and Lindsey’s only focus is making new holiday memories with the remaining members of the Haggerty clan—if only she could get her stubborn, heart-sick mom on board. 

MJ Haggerty is still clinging to the beautiful life she shared with her late husband, but when she discovers Lindsey is burying the crush she has on the town's newest firefighter, the chance to meddle in her head-strong, independent, and chronically single eldest daughter’s life might be just the incentive she needs to come out of hibernation.

Not to be out-meddled, Lindsey seeks revenge by asking for help keeping an adorable puppy with an appetite for destruction. What Lindsey doesn’t anticipate is her mom hitting it off with the pup’s retired owner. As unexpected connections spark for mother and daughter, they each find themselves torn between the comfort of the familiar and the promise of what could be for Christmases to come.
