Seymour. The story follows William Crawford on the cold streets of Chicago as he contemplates the multiple failures plaguing his life, including his time at college and careers in journalism, real estate, and performing. Distraught, he tries one more role: thief. Attempting to burgle a residence and caught in the act by the lady of the house, William must come to terms with the choices that led him to that moment. Cather provides a heartwarming short story of redemption and love at Christmas, a timely reminder that kindness is in everyone, just waiting to be uncovered. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilla Cather\u003c\/b\u003e (1873-1947) is the author of many classics, including \u003ci\u003eO Pioneers!\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Song of the Lark\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMy Ántonia\u003c\/i\u003e, all available in Bison Books editions.
