Description
Following Yonder Star presents ten tales of Christmas, inhabited by a ghostly visitor in a red Corvair, a mystical raven, and a struggling postal worker, among others. In Finding McQueen, a man searches for the long-dead town where his father grew up, but finds hope, peace, and a smiling calf. Saint Polycarp's Turkeys is a humorous glimpse of the quirky characters at a small-town church, a well-meaning matchmaker, and strange weather. Midwinter, White follows a boy and his grandfather as they search for a glimpse of the past in a post-apocalyptic landscape, and find that the spirit of Christmas is still alive, making all things new again. This collection of stories, from poignant to humorous to supernatural, provides a quirky take on faith, family, and friends at Christmas time.
