What happens when Noel is transported to a delightful Victorian Christmas Village?

She discovers a world more wonderful and delightful than ever imagined. Noel is taken in by the kindly Goforth family of Sunshine Cottage and helps them keep Christmas surprises. These simple delights are upset when the prince mysteriously disappears. As Noel and her friends search for him, their efforts reveal a villain and an evil plot, which will require all their courage to overcome.

This story, written in vintage style, explores the themes of love, loyalty, self-sacrifice, and the true Christmas spirit.

We’ve all heard the saying “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” Benjamin Franklin had this and many other wise saying in his Poor Richard’s Almanac. This ebook is from an old book that belonged to my Granddaddy who was a preacher. I’m sure you will enjoy reading these wonderful proverbs!

This book contains stories that will help you celebrate all the summer holidays, although Mother’s Day is not technically in the summer it’s pretty close and I couldn’t include Father’s Day and neglect Mother’s Day.

Here are the holiday’s included that have three day countdowns:

Mother’s Day (the second Sunday in May)
Memorial Day (the last Monday in May)
Father’s Day (the third Sunday in June)
Flag Day (June 14)

For Mother’s Day and Father’s Day the countdown is Friday, Saturday, and the Sunday of the holiday. Memorial Day has a countdown on Saturday, Sunday, and Memorial Day. Flag Day has a countdown for June 12, 13, and 14.

Then for Independence Day there is a two week countdown starting on June 21. One of the most fascinating parts of the book are short historical biographies of the fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence. As you read the daily stories leading to Independence Day the biographies are sidebars that can be read before or after the story. It’s so inspiring to read about the real men who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for freedom and how many of them gave their lives and their fortunes for that cause. If you are looking for a book that celebrates virtue and character this would be a great book to include in your summer reading.
