Non-Fiction Memoir
A hilarious, delectable stocking stuffer of Christmas
stories for the holiday lover in the family. The annual fruitcake symbolizes all that is wonderful about
the holidays (goodwill, tradition, colorful treats) and all
that makes them maddening (strange foods, crazy relatives,
and those darned candied fruits). Here in twelve
stories--one each for the twelve days of Christmas--David
Valdes Greenwood elfishly captures the spirit of the holiday
and the outrageous unpredictability of family celebrations.
Gather around the tree for tales of a God-fearing Grammy
assembling candy tins as fast as she can; daredevil brothers
roof-jumping into snow drifts--and Nixon's role in it all; a
Christmas pageant with warring wise men and one wiser woman;
and the winter night that Valdes Greenwood discovers the
true gift of the season. A perfect holiday confection, A Little Fruitcake is sure to
find its place for years to come alongside other Christmas
classics.
