A Melicent Christmas - Book 7 in the Melicent Unger Series

A Melicent Christmas: Not Merry or Bright

Melicent Unger finds herself alone for Christmas. Her husband, SD, has been admitted to a psychiatric unit after the tragic death of his family in a car accident. She continues working at Girls-n-Grits to keep busy and make ends meet.

Her grandson Roger, the Elvis impersonator, convinces Melicent to go with him while he does volunteer visits as Elvis in area nursing and assisted living homes. Melicent particularly likes the old people in a nursing home close to her rental home in North Las Vegas. There is an opening for an activity aide while their current person is on maternity leave. Melicent happily accepts the job with the agreement that she is given the one morning a week off to visit SD.

Enjoying the new friends Melicent goes back during the overnight shift after she leaves Girls-n-Grits just to visit for an hour or two rather than go home alone.
