Catching a glimpse of a legendary all-white reindeer is supposed to bring good luck. Not for Georgia Greene. As Georgia makes her way home for Christmas, a white reindeer dashes across the road in front of her, causing her to crash her car into a ditch. With her car stuck and a storm blowing in, Georgia is forced to hole up at a remote Christmas tree farm with the help of its kindly owner, Sue. Though Sue tells Georgia stories about how seeing the white reindeer is a lucky event, Georgia is skeptical. She doesn't feel very lucky. Not only is she stranded and snowed in, but she's also stuck in the presence of Sue's surly son, Felix Nissen. But despite her distaste for the holidays, Georgia has to admit there's something special about the Christmas tree farm--almost magical. Maybe the reindeer brought her more than luck... Maybe it brought her right where she needed to be. --- This was my winning NaNoWriMo project for 2021! I took it down to edit it after the holiday season, but now it's coming back with more chapters!

Like the characters in a book she recently read. And her character, the one she's living as now? Was supposed to die from that head injury. -- Author's Note: This started as a NaNoWriMo2022 experiment in the transmigration genre. Even though I hit 50K (congrats to me) in 2022, the story itself still isn't complete. Then, I continued working on it for NaNoWriMo 2023. I didn't hit 50K that year (though I got close, with most of it written on the 30th, naturally), but I DID... not finish the story either. SO, I'm editing and posting the words written last year this November (2024) and then I'm going to attempt to, you know, finish the story. Wish me luck! Please excuse any and all typos. Also, the title is temporary. Oh and any images are made using Canva.
