The envelope held a soft cover copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Gift of Christmas. I flipped open to the Table of Contents and, sure enough, I found my true story "Unexpected Joy" listed on page 195 in Chapter 6 (A Few Good Elves).
This new book is a reissue of a hardcover which was published in 2010 with limited distribution.
I love the nostalgic-looking, muted colors on the updated cover. The youngsters peek out from the stairs, dressed in their pajmas and slippers, gazing in awe at the presents beneath the Christmas tree.
The endorsement on the back cover is priceless: "Chicken Soup for the Soul has done it again, with an extra-large collection of joyful Christmas stories!" Santa Claus!
According to the Chicken Soup for the Soul website, the publication date for The Gift of Christmas is October 9.
How wonderful, Donna! And I don't think you could get a better blurb than that. :)
