"Wind Chimes" -by Victoria Minks

Hello everybody!
I am SO excited about Christmas and that my sister is coming home for a month!! Thinking of my sister and Christmas, makes me think about her amazing book "Wind Chimes". It's a collection of short stories, historical fiction, all centered around Christmas and placed back in time. From England, to northeastern America, to the West. Here's a snippet about it.

Christmas is a day of forgiveness, love, God, and family, no matter where you live or when you lived. These stories will take you somewhere long ago, and yet much like today.
With a touch of humor and a family-loving gentleness, these stories carry all the hope of Christmas. 

Wind Chimes-- Still bitter over a hurtful mistake a year ago, Martin Roebuck meets the despised doctor on Christmas Eve.
The Two Runaways-- Lost while running away from home, Albert Russell is taken in by an old man, who seems to also have past grievances.
On the Fourth Floor-- Though living on the same floor, George Nolan and Christin Rimmers overlook each other-- until a common challenge brings them together the night before Christmas Eve.
The Spinster-- Wanting to avoid Christmas loneliness, Milly Lambert finds herself in the cabin of an old woman who holds a wise secret.
The Broken Man-- Criminal Arch Fisher attempts to take advantage of a kindly old settler in the woods, but things go miserably awry.
Winifred's Adventure-- Elderly couple Amias and Winifred Hambly--eager for an uncommon life--discover a dying mother the day before Christmas.

 So if you haven't read them yet be sure to get one at victoriaminks.com. Or maybe you could get one as a gift for someone!
She also has a novel entitled "Jonas and Olivia" that is terrific! If you follow this > link < you can read part one of a free short Christmas story that follows the book and > here < for part two.
Well, I'll be back soon. And I promise it won't be so advertise-y. (But really, can't I be proud of my talented sister and her great books?) 😜
Have a merry and bright day!
