Strawberry Rockets - A Christmas Story of Music, Miracles, and Mixtapes!

Relive your childhood… or discover the magic of the ’80s for the first time.

All Audrey wanted for Christmas ’83 was a quiet holiday at home, surrounded by friends and family… and maybe a new cashmere sweater.

Instead, she and her band—The Allurettes—are swept into a whirlwind of Christmas chaos, family drama, gift disasters, loan sharks, a surprise newborn, and nosy neighbors straight out of an ’80s sitcom. And the pressure only mounts as the band prepares to back up a pop legend on national TV!

As relationships fracture, holiday miracles misfire, and secrets are revealed, Audrey discovers that the holidays don’t always bring peace, but they do have a funny way of sorting the naughty from the nice. And sometimes the messiest situations remind you of what family truly means.

Set in the neon-soaked world of 1980s malls, roller rinks, arcades, drive-ins, and suburban streets, Strawberry Rockets – A Christmas Story of Music, Miracles, and Mixtapes blends female friendship, parental strife, retro coming-of-age energy, and feel-good holiday fiction into one nostalgic, heartwarming ride.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Character-driven stories about girlhood and found family

• 1980s nostalgia and feel-good holiday vibes

• Music-filled fiction about bands, dreams, and the magical, sometimes messy, time of growing up
