When the Hot Flash friends gather at the spa to trim the
Christmas tree, they share steaming mugs of hot chocolate,
a few laughs, and a vow to make this holiday one to
remember. And it is–but not in the cheerful, ho-ho-ho way
they expected. Instead, Christmas brings family conflicts,
household accidents, plane delays–and that’s just the
beginning.
After a hazardous holiday season, the women make
resolutions that they intend to keep . . . in a perfect
world. But life–and their friends and relatives–cause
complications. Shirley lends financial support to her
boyfriend’s schemes, which infuriates Alice, whose own son
commits an act she’s not sure she can accept. Marilyn
travels to Scotland and falls in love, but her
octogenarian mother needs her at home. And when Polly and
Faye find themselves pitted against each other by a
younger woman, an they overcome this clash to make a new,
entrepreneurial dream come true? Then real disaster
strikes, bringing new challenges and surprising
revelations.
Just as every month of the year throws new problems at us
all, so too does the end of the year give us the chance to
reunite and put these problems
into their proper perspective. And when the Hot Flash Five
get together for the holidays, we should expect nothing
less than the unexpected.
