Merry Christmas from Johanna Lindsey! The Present is a yule-tide novella that takes readers back into the world of the author's most beloved family, the Malorys. When the family Christmas isn't all it should be, a mysterious gift appears to bring magic back into all their lives. The present is a journal containing the tale of the elder Malorys' grandparents - the First Marquis of Haverston and his beautiful gypsy bride. The story of Christopher and Anastasia is a memorable and funny one, although it's brevity may leave the reader craving more, but it does the trick in changing the attitudes of the current Malorys gathered together. When Molly, Derek's mother, and Jason's long-time love, hears the story of love triumphing over class, can she finally agree to Jason's entreaties that they should marry? As the Malorys read about the magic of their gypsy ancestor, the remaining magic of their family becomes apparent, and happiness is restored to one and all. Merry Christmas!
