A Very Dairy Christmas
Sylvia Hysen
Callie Michaels, the fifteen year old daughter of famous fashion photographer, Zoey Michaels appears to have it all—a private education, designer clothing, trips to exotic places, and opportunities to meet famous people. Still, she desperately longs for the one thing she doesn’t have—her mother’s attention! Fortunately, her friends at Ridgecrest Prep keep her grounded as she makes excuses for Zoey’s unconventional lifestyle and dodges questions about her own mysterious past.
But mother-daughter tensions escalate when a work assignment foils Callie’s Christmas plans, forcing her to visit her estranged German grandparents on their small dairy farm in Deer Creek, Wisconsin. Faced with economic and cultural differences, not to mention, a generation gap the size of Europe, Callie rebels, doing everything in her power to make her stay as miserable as possible for everyone she meets. But her plan soon backfires when she experiences a series of humiliating mishaps, and just when she thinks it can’t get any worse, her mother delivers a bomb—her assignment has been extended!
A Very Dairy Christmas is a contemporary family comedy that pits trend against tradition while delivering a holiday message that is sure to inspire the reader!
