Christmas Past Kelli Sue Landon

Just before Christmas, Nikki Thomas lost her childhood friend, Katherine, when they were ten years old. The case rocked the neighborhood of Willow Creek in 1988. Kat's mother was convicted of her murder, but no body was ever found. Now, twelve years later, Nikki works two jobs and moves into her own house. Hoping to bring Nikki's holiday spirits up, her mother, Joyce, gives her some old Christmas decorations. One in particular, a bright white tree topper, takes Nikki's memory back to Kat Rogers. Kat loved spending time at Nikki's, since her mother, Monica, never took proper care of her. As the memories continue to haunt her, Nikki decides to visit Kat's childhood home, but finds that her house is no longer in existence. Before she knows what hit her, an accident sends Nikki back in time. Thinking she is either dreaming or deceased, Nikki is forced to live as a ten-year-old child with an adult mind. She finds herself in the year 1988, just prior to Kat's death, and has the privilege of seeing her father again, who died when Nikki was a teenager. As much as she enjoys being with her parents, her mind starts reeling. Was Kat's mother wrongly convicted? Nikki thinks she could learn the truth about the crime since she knows when it will happen. Could she prevent it from happening or perhaps, witness who was responsible for Kat's disappearance? If Nikki's trip back to 1988 is just a hallucination, would the mystery be solved? Find out in this holiday time travel mystery!
