The Book
In a collection of short stories, Clarke provides us short windows of time into 13 families' lives around the holidays. Within a few pages, you become attached to each of her characters and truly hope for them to have merry Christmases. From step parents, divorced parents, single parents, empty nesters, newlyweds, soldiers in WWII, and more we see the holiday through the eyes of everyday people experiencing the extraordinary.
Though I read the book in one simple, sweet, and swift sitting I highly recommend putting this on your shelf until two weeks before Christmas and pulling it out every night with a cup of tea--or a glass of wine-- and enjoying your own little Advent Calendar of the season with one story a night.
