About This Book

A young boy sent to the Hill Country to live with family friend Johanna after his scientist father departs finds himself drawn into local traditions and stories as he searches for the true way to Christmas. Through encounters with a locked-out fairy, tales told by neighbors such as Barney and a trapper, visits to Uncle Joab, and a retelling of St. Bridget, he pieces together promises, community rituals, and small acts of generosity. Episodes include a near loss of Christmas and its recovery, emphasizing wonder, belonging, and the interplay of folk legend and everyday life.
