Silent Days, Holy NightBy Phyllis Clark NicholsDescription:
Every one in town knows Emerald Crest, the green granite mansion atop the highest hill: the legendary, lavish Christmas festivities that used to light up the nights--and the silence that followed when the parties abruptly stopped many years ago. And everyone has heard whispers about the reclusive, mysterious master of the manor, Henry Lafferty the Second. Book Takeaway:One's life trajectory can be changed in one moment, and one small act of kindness can ignite change in a community. Why the author wrote this book:I wanted to write about a rare and healthy friendship between a young girl and a older man who is differently abled. And what better time to write about reconciliation than at Christmas |
