Category: Fiction , General

A book of love, hope, and warmth, The Christmas Quilt is about home,about roots, and about "one small snowflake following another, settling onthe ground soft like a kiss from heaven, covering Smoky Hollow like a blanket ofgrace that shines white with goodness."Reminiscent of Lee Smith's Oral History or of Cold Sassy Treeby Olive Ann Burns for its intimate portrayal of mountain life in an earlierday,The Christmas Quilt is a compelling and tender account of sevenmonths in the lives of the members of a family in the mountains of northGeorgia. It will endear you not only to its storyline, but to the pictures itpaints of Sunday dinners, of picking blackberries, of running train tracks, of arevival meeting, and of Granny creating a quilt for her long-absent son.
