Lucy was just nineteen when her mom kicked her out of the house.
Left alone, Lucille went to live in the immense estate she had inherited from her grandma.
It has been eight years since then and suddenly her stepsister, Nicole, who she could never stand, calls her, asking her to spend Christmas together and let go of the past.
Lucy agrees and when she arrives to the Christmas Eve’s dinner, she will meet Nicole’s future husband, Xavier Blanc.
She surprisingly finds out of having met him five years before. That common past will immediately create a chemistry between the two, but Nicole has no intention of accepting the intrusion of Lucy in her life.
Then why did she invite her to the party? Does Nicole really want to start over, or has she reconnected with Lucy for other reasons?
ABOUT IT (italian version):
"Moving and touching. A story that reads quickly and gives moments of real emotion."

“I can’t do it” I whispered lifelessly, looking at my gaunt reflection in the mirror.
Meanwhile Odette was trying to fix my hair into a perfect chignon and Margot was getting busy hiding those deep dark circles that didn’t seem willing to ever abandon me.
“Nonsense! You'll do great, Lucy! It's just a dinner!” Margot tried to reassure me while putting the third layer of concealer under my eyes.
“A dinner with my mother and her new family that I haven’t seen for six years” I reminded her trying to curb the anxiety that was gripping my stomach.
“That’s why you have to go! Show them what they missed in all this time! You need to prove them that their abandonment did nothing to you and that you came out victorious… Even better, you are stronger now” Odette tried to convince me.
“Victorious, me? Have you looked at me?”
“Yes, you are beautiful, Lucy!” Odette immediately replied with a wide smile on her face.
“I’m not beautiful! I’m tired, sleep deprived, penny less, constantly unemployed, God knows how much in debt I am and I have countless worries about Chucky’s health”
“Go get ‘em!” Margot and Odette encouraged me, walking with me through the driveway of the mansion I had previously cleared of snow in order to get to my small old Peugeot.
