According to the New York Times Book Review, there are a few secrets to a good Christmas story: It should have a meaning. It should include a dying child. It should make readers cry. Any promise is possible. It should be short enough to read in one sitting. Most important, it should tell a story. If these are what make a Christmas story good, Christmas in My Heart, A Second Treasury will bring you nonstop Christmas joy. From cover to cover, all fourteen of these stories represent the best in holiday memories. And in reading them, you are creating memories for years to come.
