Scrooge, The Year After (The Scrooge Years #1)

0/5 ( ratings)

It has been almost a year since Ebenezer Scrooge was transformed from a ruthless miser into a paragon of virtue and joy, but he is not yet perfect. He can still be bull-headed and brash, but his new personality includes a lively sense of humor, generosity, insight, and the willingness to take risks. He is also a bit of a Romantic, which is fitting, since women now find him attractive ? even though he is out of practice when it comes to courting. It is another new dimension for Scrooge ? one that brings unique challenges and rewards. He faces other, darker challenges, as well.
In November 1844, Scrooge embarks on a quest to discover the truth of his sister Fan?s death, which occurred in 1819. He needs only a few suggestions of foul play and he is driven to uncover the painful facts, particularly since he feels overwhelming guilt and regret where she is concerned. He also has one business enemy, in particular, who will do everything in his power to ruin Scrooge.
Thankfully, the ghost of Jacob Marley continues to play a role in his old partner?s life, and Scrooge needs all the assistance he can get if he is not to revert to his former withdrawn and miserable self.
