| 1225 Mistletoe Lane is not your typical modern-day Yuletide story. Instead there is another objective in back of this plot. It seems it is a love-your-neighbor type of thing. In a way it's like two stories in one. Combining parts of "It's a Wonderful Life," and "Back To the Future," together, except this story takes on a new twist that will pull the reader even further into the uncertainty.
Jim, who doesn't believe in time travel until he is visited by Galen, who asks Jim if he could go back in time to help someone, would he do so? Jim finally agrees but yet thinks it is impossible. Then Galen gives Jim some sort of pill and tells him to put it in his mouth and wait there. After a few moments Jim passes out. Unexpectedly, Jim awakens in 1963. At first he thinks he is dreaming. Once he realizes he has gone back in time, will he remember why he is there and learn selflessness? Or will his selfish ways cause more problems? Jim, a high school teacher, has never really had a deep devotion. While he is in 1963, he finds what he thinks to be the love of his life. Will he learn her trust and get to stay with her in 1963? Or will he suffer the loss of her because of his selfish ways? All of these questions will be answered for you, the reader, once you go back to 1963 with Jim Carrelli. The author's exploration into the 1950s and 1960s was done excellently. The story takes on an unhappy endeavor toward the closing, though. Which is a skillful surprise for the reader and may cause the shedding of a few tears. | |||
