Stories Told at Christmas

This warm collection of five short stories guarantees a reflective respite for the Christmas Season. Each story savors the role of memories in shaping what Christmas means…meanings that are typically of more human than heavenly causes.

The anthology captures a boy’s recollection of a most magical Christmas (or, was it the toymaker?), the spirited secrets of a Community Christmas Social (the answer to what's in the beans is what's in the biscuits), and three variations on the theme of Christmas thresholds of love and life (in carols, on ice, and at a manger). These are sensuous reads for any adult who has a heart.
