The author of the bestselling phenomenon The Christmas Box
presents a new holiday novel about family, fate and
forgiveness. Joseph Jacobson is the twelfth of thirteen
siblings, all of whom are employed by their father’s
successful Colorado advertising company. But underneath the
success runs a poisonous undercurrent of jealousy; Joseph is
his father’s favorite and the focus of his brothers’ envy
and hatred. When the father seems ready to anoint Joseph as
his heir, the brothers make their move, forcing Joseph from
the company and his Denver home, severing his ties to his
parents and ending his relationship with his soon-to-be
fianceé. Alone and lonely, Joseph must start a new life.
Joseph joins a Chicago advertising agency where his
creativity helps him advance high up in the company. He also
finds hope for a lasting love with April, a kind woman with
a secret. However, all secrets hold consequences, and when
Joseph learns the truth about April’s past, his world is
again turned upside down. Finally, Joseph must confront his
own difficult past in order to make his dreams for the
future come true. A Winter Dream is an ingenious modern
retelling of the Old Testament story of Joseph and the coat
of many colors by the master of the holiday novel.
