Author J.C. Calkin’s Book, "A Lonely Strand of Christmas Lights," Follows a Young Woman Who Makes Big Changes in Her Life, Exploring a New City and a New Chance at Love

Brooklyn, NY, March 27, 2025 --(PR.com)-- J.C. Calkin has completed her new book, “A Lonely Strand of Christmas Lights”: a moving and emotional novel that sheds light on the experiences of those who are dealing with loss and loneliness during the holidays. When Maggie Turner moves to the big city for a change of pace, she discovers fascinating new neighbors, a possible new love interest, and a mystery that goes deeper than she ever could have imagined.

Author J.C. Calkin writes, “The dining room table, which has an empty chair, where a dear loved one had once sat. These are the moments that can be unbearable. The memories of someone sitting in that chair who can no longer be replaced are heartbreaking, to say the very least. A husband who loses his wife tragically, or a family member who goes missing and may never be found. They go on for the rest of the family and suffer to themselves in silence.”

She continues, “And so the Christmas season only makes them realize how much more they are missing in their mere existence, while they watch all the merriment that is unfolding around them, the joy in the twinkle of each and every little white Christmas light.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, J.C. Calkin’s impactful tale follows Maggie as she moves to the big city and meets exciting new neighbors, as well as a possible love interest. Additionally, she is drawn into an intriguing dilemma surrounding her new boss at Catalano & Sons and his mysterious past, which changed his life forever.
