Have you ever wondered what happened to Tim Cratchit after
Scrooge came to
his senses and changed his life and the life of the
Cratchits forever? Jim Piecuch
takes this beloved classic and shows Tim's future. I
didn't think anyone would
ever be able to do justice to Charles Dickens' Christmas
Carol, however Jim
Piecuch did a marvelous job with his sequel to the classic
with TIM CRATCHIT'S
CHRISTMAS CAROL! What a beautiful heartwarming story he
wrote continuing
Tim Cratchit's story as an adult who was inspired by the
help of Mr. Scrooge to
become a doctor and surgeon. Jim Piecuch was able keep
true to the Dickens'
story by adding more lovable characters as well as
bringing back a few of the
old.
Tim Cratchit never forgot that one Christmas when Scrooge
had a life changing
experience that made him show the kindness that led him to
help save Tim's life
and made him healthy. Tim even vowed to pay that kindness
to others by
becoming a doctor who took care of those that he at one
time use to be like. But
even Tim can get busy with work and almost forget what is
most important of all.
With the spirit of love from the man who inspired him to
be who is today, he
takes a journey this Christmas that will remind him what
Christmas is all about.
If you loved the Christmas Classic A Christmas Carol, then
you will not be
disappointed in Jim Piecuch's sequel to the novel, TIM
CRATCHIT'S CHRISTMAS
CAROL. You will be overjoyed to see the man that Tim has
become and how he
tries to do good for all as he keeps in mind the less
fortunate. Jim Piecuch gave
another chapter to such a beloved story that I would be
thrilled to one day see it
as a movie.
Tiny Tim is all grown up in this continuation of Charles Dickens’s beloved holiday classic A Christmas Carol, and this time, a certain ghost shows him the true meaning of Christmas cheer! In A Christmas Carol, evil Scrooge was shown the error of his ways by three helpful ghosts and vowed to become a better person. Bob Cratchit and his family benefited most from Scrooge’s change of tune—but what happened after the goose was given, and Scrooge resolved to turn over a new leaf? Tim Cratchit’s Christmas Carol shows us Tiny Tim as an adult. Having recovered from his childhood ailment, he began his career helping the poor but has since taken up practice as a doctor to London’s wealthy elite. Though Tim leads a very successful life, he comes home at night to an empty house. But this holiday season, he’s determined to fill his house with holiday cheer—and maybe even a wife. When a single, determined young mother lands on Tim’s doorstep with her ailing son, Tim is faced with a choice: stay ensconced in his comfortable life and secure doctor’s practice, or take a leap of faith and reignite the fire lit under him by his mentor, Scrooge, that fateful Christmas so many years ago.
