The Rooftop Christmas Tree

Author: Landria Onkka

No one in the small southern town of Rosedale knows why reclusive Mr. Landis places a lit Christmas tree on the roof of his deteriorating home. But, he has hauled it up there for as long as anyone can remember, landing him in Judge Conner’s courtroom every year and landing in jail just in time for Christmas.
Having grown up on his street, defense attorney Sarah Wright remembers the troubled household and reaches out to help the man, but he refuses.

When Wright’s former best friend and law school mate, John Rivera reappears in Rosedale after a long and mysterious absence, things get
interesting. Refusing to admit romantic feelings for him or to forgive him for his unexplained departure, the two are at odds until Judge Conner takes matters into his own hands. With only a few days until Christmas, the Judge imposes the task of rectifying the Landis case for good. Their deadline is Christmas Day, an impossible feat that pushes them to the limits.

Forced to pull their resources together, the young attorneys must set differences aside and soon discover that not all is as it seems in their world or Mr. Landis’s.

Inspired by a true story, the life changing and shocking ending is a testament to unwavering faith, hope, romance, and miracles . . . just in time for Christmas.
