Description
Robert Reed gave his life for his country in the early days of World War II. His sacrifice was honored when his widow and son were presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor. At Christmas, the final decoration Marge Reed hangs on the family’s tree is that medal. Rather than being a symbol of honor for young Jimmy Reed that shining star represents loss, pain, and suffering.
Yet a message delivered by one of Robert’s fellow soldiers and a mystery letter found in a Bible put a father’s sacrifice and faith into perspective and bring new meaning to not just the star hanging on the Christmas tree but the events of the very first Christmas. Then, when least expected, a Christmas miracle turns a final bit of holiday sadness into a joy that Jimmy has never known.

Advance Praise
No one captures the era in real time the way Ace Collins does. His love of history, nostalgia and the Bible makes his fiction pop and sparkle. And then his love of the Christmas season makes it a joy for all of us to read. You’re going to be touched by The Christmas Star. -Don Reid, The Statler Brothers
