A Christmas Angel

A Christmas Angel is a historical novella of Colorado Springs' life circa 1909. The problems that plague our society today (a bank scandal that resulted in a devastating recession, hunger, alcoholism) were in full force in 1909 without the cushion of public social services. But the pluck and love of widowed mother Penelope toward her feisty, overly-dramatic daughter Elsie helps them reach out to a "soiled dove" and her infant.
