The Curly Head, the beekeeper, Jeff the hired hand, the farmer, the
woman, Vinnie, the Codger, the twins . . . these are the
characters, composites of actual people living in the author's
boyhood memories, who are introduced in these lovely and poignant
stories of rural life. In twenty short stories written as over two
decades, the author has woven together a strong tale of love,
laughter, tears, and faith lived out in the simple lives of common
country folk as they celebrate the Christmas season.
The Curly Head Letters is a heartwarming collection of fictional
short stories born of the author's own experiences growing up in a
small midwestern farming community. The stories, revolving around a
Christmas theme, are poignant and beautiful, eliciting laughter and
tears and all the other strong emotions that swirl up from the
human condition. The author has put together several characters who
populate a rural Irish-German village and in doing so, he has woven
a tale of extraordinary and steadfast faith experienced in the
simple lives of ordinary people like the farmer, the woman, the
Codger, Vinnie, Jose the beekeeper, Jeff the hired hand, and the
pixie-like Curly Head. Above all, the stories emphasize the warmth,
the wonder, and the magic of Christmas as it exists in the hearts
and minds of all those who have celebrated the season.
