Christmas, Present

A fourteenth wedding anniversary is nothing to sneeze at, Elliott Banner knows, but it's not exactly a landmark year, like fifteen - or twenty, when he'll take his wife, Laura, to Paris. But when a headache on the drive home from their anniversary date - two days before Christmas - turns out to be more than a migraine, he wishes he had celebrated every year as though it were their last.

In this poignant, touching, uplifting story, a woman calmly gathers her family around her during the Christmas holiday, to celebrate their lives together - both past and future - and to truly count their blessings. A family history unfolds in a single night in this deeply affecting story that speaks volumes about love, trust, and letting go - a perfect holiday read that underscores the true meaning of the season.
