It's an interesting twist on a Christmas classic. This is meant to be like a prequel to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It is the story of Jacob Marley and his sister, Clara, and their life from childhood into adulthood. It is written in three parts, The Beginning, The Middle, and The End. Mostly from Clara's pov. Just keep in mind that Jacob Marley is the one who haunted Scrooge. Be sure to read the author's note.
