Within these six stories by S.R. Kerr, you will discover a rich variety of seasonal magic. One tale takes you to a snowbound ancestral home, where family secrets are finally revealed beneath a blanket of white. Another follows a German refugee in the 1940s who, by joining the local junior football team, finds hope and a sense of belonging during the festive period.
You’ll also encounter unexpected meetings at a lonely country crossroads, where characters’ destinies become entwined on the most magical night of the year. The collection journeys further afield to the warmth and wonder of an Australian Christmas, where high summer temperatures provide a striking contrast to the traditional spirit of the season.
One story features two old neighbours returning to their hometown, doing their utmost to recreate the cherished Christmases of years gone by. Each narrative offers its own unique perspective on the joy, togetherness and wonder that define this special time of year.
This book is lovingly crafted for readers of all ages and backgrounds who delight in the spirit of Christmas. Let these stories bring warmth and festive cheer into your home.
