Pop Up Author Elizabeth Sumner Wafler

Stop by M. Judson for a Saturday morning pop up featuring local author Elizabeth Sumner Waffler!


When Mamie Morrow, a fledgling Charleston journalist, is offered an assignment covering the Grand Bohemian Lodge in Greenville, South Carolina, at Christmastime, she jumps at the chance. Her grandfather recently passed away and left her a mysterious box of objects from the time she spent with him in New Mexico when she was three. Mamie has zero recollection of her time with her grandfather, but she now knows that he was Navajo—and as the majestic Grand Bohemian is filled with Native American art, she hopes being there will help her regain those memories.


Robert Fitzpatrick is an upstart photographer from South Boston. Through equal parts inspiration and perspiration, he’s managed to compile a stunning portfolio, and he’s just relocated to slower-paced Charleston for its lush beauty and creative community. He’s also looking for the one—a girl to whom he can give his whole heart forever. But Rob harbors family secrets of his own.


Rob is smitten with Mamie’s energy and pluck, but to Mamie, career comes first. As Christmas Day approaches, the two grapple with the complications that arise when dreams confront reality—and witness the Christmas magic that can happen when you put your faith in love.


Elizabeth Wafler is the author of five novels. She is a member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, where she served as Director of Craft Education for two years. Elizabeth can be found reading, working at her blue desk, poking through a bookstore with a luscious latte in hand, at a farmer’s market, taming her garden into submission, or enjoying a pretty cocktail on her screened porch. Elizabeth resides in Greenville, South Carolina with her husband and their rescue pup Georgette.
