内容简介：
What is your attitude toward the holiday season? Do you have the 'Christmas Spirit"? Do you refuse to observe such 'pagan celebrations"? Or do you just say, 'Bah, Humbug "? Rosemary St. Nichols is a single mother (and a 'Recovering Catholic") who has just moved to River City with her son Jonathan. Here, she meets Teniqua Johnson and her son Mychal, who celebrate Kwanzaa rather than Christmas. After a Nativity Scene placed outside City Hall causes controversy in the community, Rosemary wonders, 'If even churches can't agree to cooperate, how in the world will all the people in River City ever learn to put aside our differences-if even for one day?" There are no angelic visitations or 'Christmas miracles" here, but the residents of Riverside Apartments receive a lesson in cooperation, not to mention living together in harmony and mutual respect. Learn more about your own holiday traditions, and those of others-as well as about those who don't celebrate the season at all-in this moving journey of discovery and rediscovery of what the holiday season is all about. (Readers of the author's earlier novel "Tattered Pilgrims" will be pleased to see the reappearance of several of its characters in this book.)
