There are many among us desperately who are seeking something to celebrate. These collections of Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year s stories are still available. They are all on my keeper shelf and are as much a part of my holiday season as reruns of Miracle on 34th Street. Winter Nights , which was published last year in a hardbound version, has been reissued in paperback. Several weeks before Christmas, Kia Simmons home was destroyed by fire.
Chapter one begins seven years later.
Kia has devoted her life to Josh, whom she has legally adopted. Josh is a growing manchild with questions about almost everything. While the death of her parents and sister have created a personal crisis of faith for Kia, she diligently makes sure that Josh is raised in a religious environment. The First Noel is a wonderful story of faith, hope and new beginnings. I ve encountered in quite some time.
