Synopsis

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CRATCHIT FAMILY AFTER A CHRISTMAS CAROL?

The Cratchit family has come a long way since Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation many Christmases past, none more so than Lucy Anne 'Raven' Cratchit. Inspired by Tiny Tim's illness and recovery, Raven is working to become London's first female physician.

Brit Crane grew up fighting for his life in the slums of London, protecting his gang of orphan thieves until Olivia 'Twist' Brownlow and Jack 'The Artful Dodger' MacCarron rescued them and Brit became a teacher. When Brit discovers he is the rightful Earl of Wexford and stands to inherit a fortune if he marries by Christmas, he isn't sure he wants the title or the money. That is, until a beautiful physician saves his life. The catch? Doctor Raven Cratchit is engaged to Brit's conniving half-brother, the current illegitimate Earl of Wexford. Brit learns the hard way that his aristocratic brother doesn't play by 'street rules' and he struggles to fight for what is his in a world where he doesn't belong.

With the help of Raven and three meddling spirits, can Brit regain everything that was taken from him before the clock strikes twelve on Christmas Eve?

This book was a disappointment for me! It is a book that is a continuation of A Christmas Carol. It could have been a great story, but fell short of the mark.

Once Upon a Christmas Past is the perfect way to start the Christmas season. Lorie Langdon puts a fresh spin on A Christmas Carol.

I loved every single thing about this book! Such a beautiful, poignant story set against a lush background of Victorian elegance contrasted with the stark reality of the Victorian slums.
