Here’s a new holiday song my friend Kara Masharani suggested. (You know Kara: we do monthly book chats together. Watch for another one coming hopefully before the end of the year!)

One theme we see a lot of at the holidays is loneliness, typically for one’s beloved or even one’s family. Have we ever felt that more than this year, when so many places are (or should be) on lockdown due to the virus?
