The Forever Christmas Tree

About the Book

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year.  It seems to bring out the best in people of all ages and families do special things together that create lasting memories.  Emily and Jimmy waited for the day when they could take their yearly trip to the tree farm and choose their Christmas tree.  The days seemed to be creeping by oh so slowly until a winter snowstorm closed the schools and businesses in their town.  Now as soon as the roads were safe, the family could plan their trip. Daddy was home from work and so as soon as the roads were safe to travel, the Barnable family climbed into their car and off they went.

It was only an hour away and before they knew it, the tree farm was in sight.

Rows of large green trees greeted them and the two excited children began to imagine which one would end up in their living room.  Emily and Jimmy would soon learn that life is full of surprises and things are not always what they seem.

There is magic in the air at Christmastime even on a tree farm.  Read this charming story and discover the real lesson of the Forever Christmas Tree…..

About the Author

The author is a widowed mother and grandmother who has drawn from her life experiences to share stories that would delight the hearts of all children.  Her five children cherish memories of the bedtime stories which delighted them during their early years.  She always used her creative imagination to teach some lesson or moral as she wove a tale with some familiar theme.  Now the author’s grandchildren and children everywhere can enjoy a journey in story land and perhaps learn some of life’s most important lessons.

After her marriage, the author exchanged a career in business for one of raising her five children.  She and her husband settled in upstate New York where he was part of the local business community.  Their lives were that of the average small town American family.  She was involved with school and church activities as most mothers were in the sixties and seventies.  When her last two children were ready for college, she re-entered the business world and for fourteen years enjoyed a new career in finance.  She retired to care for her husband who eventually lost his ten-year battle with cancer. 

Her first book, My Only Son, published by AuthorHouse represents her attempt to launch a fourth career as a new author.  Entering the field of children’s books will be a new and rewarding venture for this dedicated mother and grandmother.
