Christmas at the Beach

In this holiday novella, Wax gathers the cast and crew of the reality-TV show DO OVER back at the first house they did over (and the place where they all began their lives over) when this disparate group of women bonded following the loss of their collective finances in a Bernie Madoff-type Ponzi scheme and found themselves left with one asset, the white elephant Florida mansion Bella Flora. This last Christmas at Bella Flora is their chance to say goodbye to the house that gave them a fresh start and to discover how far they've come from those very desperate days. But even though they have all survived, and even thrived, there are new challenges ahead. The TV series has become less about turning over houses and too much about picking through the continuing spectacle of their real lives, captured by the all-seeing network lens. This Christmas will reveal the next sure-to-be-dangerous location for the upcoming season, along with every other bit of family drama the cameras can uncover.
