Still spry at ninety-three, Theodora has lived long enough to see her family grow into an insufferable bunch of truculent knuckleheads. Having finally gathered the whole bickering brood together for the holidays at her South Carolina home, the grand matriarch pines wistfully for those extravagant, homey Christmases of her childhood.

How she misses the tables groaning with home-cooked goodies, the over-the-top decorations, those long, lovely fireside chats with Pearl, her grandmother's beloved housekeeper and closest confidante.

These days, where is the love and the joy . . . and the peace?

But this is, after all, a magical time. Someone very special has heard Theodora's pleaand is about to arrive at her door with pockets full of Gullah magic and enough common sense to transform this Christmas into the miracle it's truly meant to be.


The audio is 3.5 hours so I listened to the book while out one day and had to sit in the car in the garage to finish. I had to know what happened.

For a short audio it was perfect to lift up my day and the story was so great.

This book was heart warming and humorous. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dorothea Benton Frank is a marvelous author and worth a try if you're looking for a new author.
