A strange older woman with scraggly gray hair and jewelry that jangles as she walks, Matilda is certainly not the most likely person to buy the old Barton Building on the town's quaint main street. When it becomes apparent that her new shop doesn't fit the expectations of Parrish Springs residents, a brouhaha erupts. After all, Christmas is approaching, and the last thing the town needs is a junky shop run by someone who looks and acts like a gypsy.

Once again, Melody Carlson delivers a Christmas story that will touch hearts and delight the senses. Sure to be a classic, The Christmas Shoppe is filled with the special magic the best Christmas stories share--that intangible mixture of nostalgia, joy, and a little bit of magic.

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."
