Christmas is a time for joy -- even if everything else in life seems like it’s trying to trip you up. In these four short stories, these authors encourage readers to find kindness, hope, and forgiveness in the upcoming Christmas season.
At the end of each story, I found myself wishing for just another chapter or two because I wasn’t ready to let the characters and the hopeful feelings go. Each of the four authors did a splendid job of crafting stories to prepare readers’ hearts for the good feelings of Christmas, and I wonder if they had a secret bet on who could include the most adorable animal in their story. If you aren’t feeling particularly in the Christmas spirit, you will at the close of this book.
