The 13th Day of Christmas (Paperback)

Marva Ferguson has a very personal Christmas tradition that

happens the day after Christmas. As a widow, the tradition

means more to her now than it ever did.

Her newest neighbor, nine-year-old Charlee, loves Christmas

too. But her family has fallen on hard times, and things get

worse when Charlee becomes critically ill.

Then, on December 12, Charlee makes a wonderful discovery.

A mysterious note is delivered that promises twelve days of

gifts and stories that will reveal the true story behind the

beloved Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas." As

the days go by, the gifts seem to hint at a possible lost lyric. Was

there once a 13th day of Christmas? And if so, could its magic

change or save a life?

If Marva knows something about the "letters from the Elves,"

she's not telling. However, you don't live to be as old as Marva

Ferguson and not have a secret or two including a whole lot of

faith in your apron pocket.
