In this delightful sequel to the bestselling holiday classic The Autobiography of Santa Claus, the first lady of Christmas herself tells the story of how she and a very brave group of people once saved a treasured holiday from being lost forever.

It's 1620 and Mrs. Claus's dear husband is off in the New World planting the seeds of what will become a glorious Christmas tradition. Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus has chosen to stay in England, where the first signs of a dangerous threat to Yuletide cheer are in evidence. The Puritans have gained control of Parliament and appear determined to take all the fun out of Christmas. But Mrs. Claus knows that it's time for serious action when, in 1647, a law is passed by Parliament that actually punishes anyone who celebrates Christmas.

Using as its springboard the actual events of a day in 1647 when ten thousand peasants marched through the streets of Canterbury demanding their right to celebrate a beloved holiday, How Mrs. Claus Saved Christmas is rich in historical detail, adventure, and plain ol' Christmas fun.

Arch-swindler Moist von Lipwig never believed his crimes were hanging offenses - until he found himself with a noose around his neck, dropping through a trap door, and falling into... a government job? Getting the moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may be an impossible task. Worse, the new Postmaster could swear the mail is talking to him. Worst of all, it means taking on the gargantuan, money-hungry Grand Trunk clacks communication monopoly and its bloodthirsty piratical head, Mr. Reacher Gilt.


But it says on the building NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR GLO M OF Nl T... Inspiring words (admittedly, some of the bronze letters have been stolen), and for once in his wretched life Moist is going to fight. And if the bold and impossible are what's called for, he'll do it - to move the mail, continue breathing, get the girl, and deliver that invaluable commodity that everyone requires: hope.


"Terry Pratchett may still be pegged as a comic novelist, but... he's a lot more. In his range of invented characters, his adroit storytelling, and his clear-eyed acceptance of humankind's foibles, he reminds me of no one in English literature as much as Geoffrey Chaucer. No kidding." --- Washington Post Book World

Meet Whitney, Taylor, and Charisse, three women who have been best friends since high school.



Whitney is a plus-size woman who just can't turn down a box of Krispy Kremes or find a man who will stay put.


Taylor is in a long-term relationship with a boyfriend who's allergic to commitment.


Charisse is married, with two adorable children, but somehow doesn't have what she really wants—or needs.


Then suddenly, Charisse spins out of control. Her husband threatens to go public with a secret Charisse had hoped to keep hidden, especially from her interfering mother. Desperate, she decides that only a very risky scheme will save her.


One constant for these women has been the support they've offered one another. But this time, how far can friendship go?


In this witty, rollicking, deeply poignant story, Kimberla Lawson Roby demonstrates the storytelling magic that has won her legions of adoring fans and made her novels bestsellers.


Kimberla Lawson Roby is the New York Times and Essence bestselling author of the acclaimed novels The Best-Kept Secret, Too Much of a Good Thing, A Taste of Reality, Behind Closed Doors, Here and Now, Casting the First Stone, and It's a Thin Line. She lives with her husband in Illinois.
