Book Description:
After two sellout years, we return with an all-new third volume that includes stories of families, couples, children, and those on their own in moments of great transformation and small joys, seeing all the ways that Christmas can manifest itself: from the teacher who shows one boy how to manage the world so that it’s Christmas every day to the girl who, in an attempt to best her father, buys what she thinks is the most magnificent necklace ever for her mother. With stories and essays by Bailey White, Rick Bass, Ellen Gilchrist, Marianne Gingher, George Singleton, Michael Parker, Steve Yarbrough, Lynne Barrett, Bret Anthony Johnston, Stephen Marion, and Aaron Gwyn, A Dixie Christmas celebrates a season filled with large expectations and graced with small surprises.
From the Back Cover:
These fine-spun stories—wrapped in watercolor illustrations—transport us straight to the heart of the holidays. In tales that echo our own reminiscences, eleven storytellers share the magic, melancholy, and mirth of the season. And after the icicle lights have been unplugged, the tree has been wrestled to the curb, and the last sugar cookie has been eaten, these glimpses of Christmases large and small, harried and hopeful, will call to mind the time of year when, for a brief moment, everything seems right with the world.
