On Thursday, December 16, at 6:30 PM, a little holiday magic will be granted to the Book Club at The Center readers as we welcome novelist Clarissa J. Markiewicz and travel with her to Whimsy, a mystical town where the legend comes to life at Christmas time. It’s said the Spirit of Whimsy appears this time of year to grant one’s deepest wish. Some say she’s an angel, some say she’s pure energy. For the complicated and troubled characters of Whimsy, Lexie, Robin, and Margot, she’s their last hope. As these women embark on their Christmas adventures, their lives intersect in ways that may end up helping them all. Christmas bells are ringing, and time’s running out for these three women to find the answers they need. For when the holiday is over, any magic the Spirit of Whimsy can offer will melt away. If you love holiday movies—those heartwarming, funny, light stories with characters going through relatable life experiences - and a feel-good holiday ending, you’ll fall in love with Christmas in Whimsy.
