We Were Supposed to Be Merry
About
Some gifts can’t be wrapped — and some wounds can’t be ignored.
As the twinkling lights of the holiday season approach, the Economos family is anything but merry. Matriarch Daria Economos finds herself grappling with her husband’s betrayal, her heart heavy with hurt.
Eldest son Chris struggles to keep his fractured family from falling apart and rallies his siblings for a heartfelt mission to transform their mother’s holiday into something special. He envisions a Norman Rockwell painting come to life, complete with caroling, a perfectly trimmed tree, and a family dinner where everyone smiles politely and pretends their lives aren't crumbling faster than a gingerbread house in a hurricane.
Of course, things don't exactly go according to plan and, as Christmas approaches, the family learns that bridging emotional gaps and forgiveness don’t come easily. Get ready for a heartwarming holiday adventure filled with dysfunctional family dynamics and the enduring power of love even during the most challenging of times.
Told from multiple perspectives, We Were Supposed to Be Merry, set during The Lies We Learn, book six in the Misadventures of Modern Womanhood series, explores the power of grace, the strength of sibling bonds, and the healing that only time, and family, can bring. For readers who love emotional women’s fiction with a sensual edge, the Misadventures of Modern Womanhood series spans one woman’s life from youth to maturity and every heartbreak and triumph in between.
