"A Stubborn Sweetness and Other Stories for the Christmas
Season" is a collection of modern-day short stories by Katherine
Paterson, award-winning author of "Bridge to Terabithia" and "The
Great Gilly Hopkins"--both loved by children and adults for over
twenty years. This compilation includes stories of real-life people
such as a shopping mall's night watchman, a lonely widower, a
pregnant teenage runaway, a political prisoner in China, a grieving
mother, and a privileged American, who have forgotten the true
meaning of Christmas because of loss, pain, greed, or
circumstances. Through unexpected and uplifting ways, each is
reminded of the first Christmas story and the vision of hope and
peace it offers the world. They realize that even in the darkness,
the light and song of Christmas can be seen and heard.
This heart-warming gift book, filled with stories of realistic
people finding hope, courage, and faith amidst life's
circumstances, radiates the spirit of the season and reminds each
of us what Christmas truly means. Originally written to be read
during her church's Christmas Eve service, this collection of
holiday stories is perfect for individuals, families, and churches
to read and share during the season.
