This enchanting group of eight tales—two of which are
original to this collection—begins with the title
story, "Miracle," in which an office worker hopes that her
handsome colleague will finally notice her at the company
Christmas party. But her carefully devised plans go awry
when her guardian angel takes it upon himself to show her
the true meaning of love. In the cautionary tale "In
Coppelius's Toyshop," the motto What Goes Around Comes
Around serves as an eerie reminder to a jaded narcissist
who finds himself trapped in a crowded toy store at
Christmastime.
In the touching "Adaptation," the Ghosts of Christmas
Present and Christmas Yet to Come pay a visit to a lonely
bookstore clerk, who discovers that the best gift of all
is to give—even when his one wish for the holidays doesn't
come true. "Inn" presents the inspiring story of a choir
singer who gives shelter on a cold winter night to a
homeless man and his pregnant wife—only to learn later
that there's much more to the couple than meets the eye.
And "Epiphany" follows three unwitting, modern-day wisemen
on a quest unlike any they've ever experienced.
A treasure to cherish anytime of the year, this collection
boldly reimagines the stories of Christmas and serves as
atestament to Connie Willis's unique genius and skill in
bringing the extraordinary to life while conveying the
power of human compassion and love.
