When a retired schoolteacher finds a lost child who can’t remember her name, the schoolteacher and her elderly neighbor embark on a quest to discover the child’s identity and return her to her family. They encounter a mystery, foster a romance, rescue a community choir, assist a family in crisis, and witness a miracle. Along the way, they remind their small town of the things which really matter in life: friendship, service, forgiveness, and the strength of family.

Tired of the pressure to buy, buy, buy, decorate the house, cook all the family’s favorite traditional foods, and gift every relative, neighbor, co-worker, and friend during the stressed-filled countdown to Christmas? This book is the antidote: twelve stories, each one imbued with the true spirit of holiday-sharing, generosity, forgiveness, faith, music, laughter and love. Here are twelve stories about ordinary people who make extraordinary choices which forever change the lives of those around them:—a college student just trying to get home for the holidays— brothers trapped in an escalating cycle of conflict — a practical joke with an unexpected result— two surprise deliveries, and more. . . . Read them all at once, or savor them one day at a time until the 25th of December. Twelve Days For Christmas will make you sit back, relax, and remember the holiday moments that really matter.
