The Little Corner Christmas Store

The Little, Corner Christmas Store (12 Christmas Stories for the Whole Family), written by 6-time international book award winner Kevin P White, is a beautiful collection of heart-warming short stories about Christmas, each with a different message. In The Little Christmas Store, Ryan reluctantly goes in search of three gifts and instead finds the true meaning of Christmas after visiting a nondescript little store full of old things he believes no one would ever want. In Finding Christmas, the whole town of Appleton puts their Christmas festivities on hold as they search for Christmas, the town's beloved Yuletide cat. And in The Gift, a brilliant brain surgeon named Emily learns that a person's title has nothing to do with their measure as a person, finding love along the way. The stories integrate the magic of Christmas with issues like family relationships, mental illness, poverty, losing loved ones and finding love. Reader's Favorites Reviews rated the collection 5 out of 5 stars and called it "truly a wonderful collection that has the potential to endure from one magical Christmas season to the next"; and wrote: "Many of White's stories can't be read without a box of tissues at hand and all leave an indelible impression. For readers looking beyond the tinsel and glitz of Christmas for some deeper meaning to life in general, look no further than White's offering."

Jackie Shields was a hero to many. After graduating high school at age sixteen and college at twenty, he became a fighter pilot in the United States Navy. Jackie even flew with the famed Blue Angels, the navy's elite demonstration flight squadron. When Jackie returned home to Winchester, Massachusetts, for Christmas in 1956, he received a hero's welcome. But no one was more excited to see Jackie than his youngest brother, Billy. In The Farewell Christmas, William Shields shares the story of his last Christmas with his older brother Jackie. With his hero home for the holidays, ten-year-old Billy has a Christmas he will never forget. From the time Jackie surprises Billy on his evening paper route to their last good-bye, Jackie shows Billy what being a hero is all about. Billy's love for his older brother shines through in an inspiring way as he relives a time of sledding, snowball fights, and family feasts and reminds us all that the best gift is spending Christmas with family. A bittersweet story of faith, family, and innocence, The Farewell Christmas will take all readers back to their own childhood Christmases and inspire them to create memories with their families that will last a lifetime.

I was raised by an alcoholic and abusive mother. I married a man I hardly knew to escape her. He was even more abusive. After two failed marriages, I remarried, raised eight children and eventually had to face lung cancer. This is my story of child abuse, alcohol and cancer.
