Order THE CHRISTMAS CLOCK Today

Teddy Winters is eight years old, too young to understand the undercurrents swirling around him in the tiny Michigan town of Dreyerville this Christmas season.

Teddy only knows he wants to buy the beautiful Victorian clock in the window of Tremont’s Antiques as a gift for his grandmother, Lottie Sparks, a woman desperate to find him a home before her rapidly progressing Alzheimer’s leaves him an orphan.

Teddy doesn't know that in trying to buy the clock he will meet Sylvia Winters and Joe Dixon, a couple, once in love, desperate to overcome the past. He doesn't know he will form a friendship with his neighbors, Floyd and Doris Culver, a couple struggling to revive their long-dead marriage.

He doesn't know that these people will fill his Christmas with magic and hope; that the love of his friends will change his world, and he will forever change theirs.
