A Midnight Clear

The true meaning of Christmas can be found in this lovely gift book of twelve modern-day stories inspired by the hope and peace of the season. Over the years, the author wrote these stories for her husband, a reverend, who read them to his congregation every Christmas Eve. The stories encompass a variety of themes--from a tale of a child coping with disappointment, to a proud, lonely widow befriended by a well-meaning boy, to a couple awaiting the birth of their baby. Each story possesses a warmth and spirituality which could only come from Katherine Paterson.
