Imagine a moonlit railroad track, a rural road and barn covered
with just a dusting of snow, a hound dog asleep by the woodstove,
and a Red Ryder BB gun hidden behind the tinseled tree—all the
makings of an unforgettable Indiana Christmas. In An Indiana
Christmas, editor Bryan Furuness brings together timeless short
stories, poems, plays, and letters to help you get into the holiday
spirit. Lose yourself in classics like "In God We Trust: All Others
Pay Cash" by Jean Shepherd, which inspired the beloved movie A
Christmas Story, and "A Feel in the Christmas Air" by James
Whitcomb Riley, along with more recent literary works like "The
Myth of the Perfect Christmas Photo Family" by Kelsey Timmerman and
"While Mortals Sleep" by famed Indiana writer Kurt Vonnegut. To
achieve the perfect combination of Christmas nostalgia and cheer,
Furuness has curated Hoosier stories that allow you to experience
an idyllic holiday gathering in "Indiana Winter" by Susan Neville,
feel the excitement of a child on Christmas Eve with "Earthbound"
by Barbara Shoup, and face the loneliness of a drifter on Christmas
night in "Howard Garfield, Balladeer" by Edward Porter. The
collection even offers the chance to read a Christmas war dispatch
from the late, great Hoosier journalist Ernie Pyle. Heartfelt and
unique, An Indiana Christmas paints a picture of what Hoosiers
truly hold dear. Family, love, giving, hope, and faith shine
through these poignant stories, which are sure to put you in good
spirits for the holidays.
