About this listen

It’s Christmas Eve and Stella Hansen is broke. She is so broke that despite working two jobs, she can’t even afford a present for her husband on their first Christmas as man and wife. But then a mysterious storekeeper at a pawn shop offers Stella an intriguing trade. Stella wants more than anything to buy her husband the Christmas gift of his dreams. But will it come at a terrible price?

There’s so much more that could have been done

I love this narrator but the story has so much more complexity that could have been built in. Bummer

Short and boring

Very disappointed last time I preorder from this author. Not very original and not much time for any back story.

How short it was

WHY WAS THIS SO SHORT? Didn't like that at all. Did you do this on purpose?
