Pennsylvania, 1860: Assailed by grief, spirited Sarah Neumann tries to hold her family and her heart together as she begins life without her beloved mother. In Mama's absence, Sarah does her best to care for her father and her twin sisters; she is shocked when Papa announces his plans to celebrate Christmas before the family's official mourning period ends. Sarah's world is turned upside-down as her sisters happily prepare for the holiday and challenge Sarah's steadfast belief in tradition and consistency. Sarah is inconsolable until an unlikely, new friendship helps heal her heart, and a miraculous occurrence teaches her that those we love never truly leave us.
In the tradition of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, Christmas at Stone Creek is a coming-of-age story featuring a head-strong, independent 19th century young woman making her way in life. Period details and colorful imagery bring Sarah and the Neumann family to life. This is a tale of loss, grief, rediscovery, and eventual contentment and joy. Christmas at Stone Creek offers comfort to the grieving and hope for all.
"I had heard grief did strange things to people. This, I sadly suspected, was such a case. In the past, Papa had always done what was right, but at that moment, for the very first time, I questioned whether he knew what that was. I would accompany my sisters into town to shop for holiday food and trimmings, as Papa instructed, but my heart was completely, utterly certain that despite their efforts, there would be no Christmas at Stone Creek. How could there be when our brightest light was no longer with us?"
