The Ornament Box: A Love Story
On Christmas Eve, Michael reluctantly returns to his childhood home to help his mother set up the tree. Normally, this is something Michael's father would do -- but not this Christmas; he's upstairs recovering from surgery. Though Michael longs for a relationship with his father, he and his dad are not close. So much of his father's life is a mystery. As Michael and his mom unwrap the ornaments, author Phillip Done, through his signature warmth and charm, unwraps the family's relationships and struggles, and Michael discovers the deep, secret sorrow of the man upstairs. A testament to home and hope, this treasure of a story, with its timeless message, will touch readers' hearts and endure as a reminder of the preciousness of family and the redemptive power of love.
All but Rachelle, prepping for surgery next week, attended our annual Christmas lunch at Frances house. Yummy appetizers, manicotti, salad and garlic bread with cream cheese dessert prepared by Chef Brian. We were all so happy Jan was able to join us (thanks Jim!!) and Frances for hosting this year.
