Holiday Reunion

Some reunions heal. Some reunions destroy. This one might do both.

It's been years since the girls were all together. Years of marriages and motherhood, career wins and crushing losses, secrets kept and truths that exploded. Years of growing up, growing apart, and wondering if the friendships that sustained them through their twenties can survive their thirties.

Now they're gathering at Lilly's Malibu beach house for a Christmas reunion that chef Becca insists they all need. But "need" and "ready" aren't the same thing.

Lilly is a Grammy-winning R&B artist who's finally learned to love herself-but can she face Mary after the confession that cost them everything?

Mary is a top lawyer, devoted mother, and woman who's mastered control-except she can't control the hurt that won't heal or the best friend she's not sure she can forgive.

Becca is opening her dream restaurant and cooking for royalty-but first she needs to feed her girls and share her own secret.

Gina is a Drill Sergeant who became an instant mom and rebuilding trust with a husband who betrayed her-if trust can even be rebuilt.

Katie is a brilliant psychologist married to a man she's ninety percent sure is a psychopath-and she's not sure if leaving or staying makes her crazier.

Sally survived rape, survived Jim Morrison's abuse, and is finally dating someone who makes her feel safe-but can she trust that it's real?

Over one week of sun-soaked days and wine-filled nights, these six women will laugh, cry, fight, heal, and remember why they chose each other as family. Because the truth about chosen family is this: you can't quit them even when you want to. You show up. Even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Emotionally rich ensemble casts
• Multiple couple romance arcs
• Black women navigating career, love, and identity
• Found family that feels real-messy, complicated, unbreakable

Holiday Reunion is Book 4 in the Journeys of the Heart series. While it can be read as a standalone reunion story, the emotional impact deepens when read after Journeys of the Heart, New Birth & New Life, and Life of a Star Before the Fame.
