| Publisher Description: Holiday Connections is a series of stories that explore how the days of the year we set aside for celebrations can tie together family, friends and often strangers. From the child who involves her neighbors in planning her own funeral for Easter to the woman whose bump in the night on Halloween turns out to be a family in need, these stories explore human connections using twelve U.S. holidays as themes. The stories range from the mystery of a murder at the prestigious President's Club to the gentle romance that develops when a mail order bride falls in love with the man she's wed to a moving tale of a minister drawn to help his own community during the Christmas season. Holiday Connections is a book that deserves an accessible place on the bookshelf: one that people can reach for when they want to feel inspired by a holiday. |
