Description
When someone buys the old Honeycutt house, Nora Bonesteel is glad to see some life brought back to the old mansion, even if it is by summer people. But when they decide to stay through Christmas, they find more than old memories in the walls.
On Christmas Eve, Sheriff Spencer Arrowwood and Deputy Joe LeDonne find themselves on an unwelcome call to arrest an elderly man for a minor offense. As they attempt to do their duty, while doing the right thing for a neighbor, it begins to look like they may all spend Christmas away from home.
In a story of spirits, memories, and angels unaware, Sharyn McCrumb revisits her most loved characters who know there is more to this world than the eye can see, especially at
Christmastime.

Reeca E, Reviewer
This is a sweet, adorable read with a wonderful Christmas message. The setting and the characters are so real and true to life.
I have always loved the character Nora Bonesteel. She is a tough lady with the "sight". This "sight" leads her through many experiences and challenges. And this Nora Bonesteel novella is no different, just too short.
Sharyn McCrumb always has a little bit of humor, history, and mystery in her stories. I always feel right at home with her books. The country setting and the country people are all part of my world. Sharyn McCrumb does an excellent job depicting all the odd characters with strange notions and superstitions.
A fine read indeed!!

This is the type of Sharyn McCrumb story I like. No message stories, just a well crafted tale. This novella is actually two tales interwoven together by a Christmas theme. One stars Sheriff Arrowood and Deputy LeDonne driving into the hills to arrest a man who had hit-and-run a state senator's wife's car. Due to weather concerns and hurry over it being Christmas Eve, they ended up with the wrong man and a lot of work. The second tale involves Nora Bonesteel aiding a neighbor in settling a Christmas tree disturbance at their summer house. Both tales are well told and well worth reading. Makes me want to get out the other Arrowood/Bonesteel books and reread them.
