A heartwarming, mischievous holiday novel about chasing dreams, breaking rules, and writing the most scandalous Christmas song of the century.
 
New York City, 1953.

Judy Jacobs is a fast-talking comedienne with a sharp wit and sharper ambitions—tired of living in the shadow of her powerful political family. Ira Silverman is a struggling songwriter, desperate for a hit that might finally pay the rent. When a pair of daring record executives offer them a strange challenge—write a sexy Christmas song for a rising star—Judy and Ira have just five weeks to deliver the impossible.
 
What starts as a desperate project quickly turns into something bigger: a risky, exhilarating rebellion against the stuffy traditions of the era. But in a world where race, class, and reputation determine who gets to climb and who stays stuck, creating a little holiday mischief could have very real consequences—especially for Estelle, the magnetic Black singer who brings their provocative song to life.
 
Full of heart, humor, romance, and resilience, Hurry Down the Chimney is a love letter to ambition, friendship, and the kind of dreams too stubborn to be silenced.
 
Perfect for fans of historical fiction, witty dialogue, and stories where music changes everything.
