Under Glittering Christmas Stars - Paperback

by Barbara Briggs Ward (Author)

Charlie Morgan grew up in Boston, sheltered by his mother, in awe of his father, a well-respected doctor who lost his life when Charlie was nine. Following in his father's footsteps, Charlie becomes a well-respected doctor, retiring early and moving to Maine, to a camp used as a getaway years back by his father. Leaving Jayne is his only regret. Her wild red hair drives him crazy. Charlie's awkwardness in relationships gets in his way.

Once settled, Charlie discovers the old barn on the property holds a secret kept hidden for years. Charlie struggles for answers. His eventual reaction is surprising. When a sad, young boy comes into his life, Charlie's kindness turns the boy around. They become the best of friends. Because Charlie's parents never celebrated Christmas, the boy's belief in the wonder of Christmas leads to Charlie's embrace of the Season, and so much more.
