BLURB:
Christmas is not a time of joy for the hurting.
During a snowstorm, widow Cathy Fischer creams a stop sign on her way to work at the Christmas Ridge Community Church. Acquaintance David Martin stops to help. Cathy sees signs of deep grief in David, a recent widower. She reaches out with support in an attempt to help David through this most difficult first Christmas without his beloved wife.
David Martin struggles with grief over the death of his wife. He blames God for her rapid demise after her cancer diagnosis. Cathy reaches out to him with compassion and support and soon enlists him in her mission to bring joy to others at Christmas. Will their joint quest restore David’s faith?
David needs to turn loose of the past and embrace his future. Cathy has a confession to make to the entire community that may give David a different perspective of who she really is. Will her confession set her free?
Does God have plans in mind for the two of them they did not anticipate?

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
When I was invited to join a group of four authors to create a multi author five book Christmas
series, I had no idea what I was going to write. Many Christmas stories center around a young couple and holiday romance. I decided to write about two older people who have experienced loss and will spend Christmas alone. Kathy Fischer suffered the death of her husband a couple of years ago. David Martin is facing his first Christmas without his beloved wife.
Once my characters introduced themselves to me, my main objective was to bless readers and glorify God by focusing on the true meaning of Christmas. I crafted the story of two hurting people who find healing to their own hearts by helping others discover joy in the gift of Jesus’s birth.
To all who choose to read this Christmas novella, Happy Jesus’s birthday!
