The Christmas Quilt
Author: Thomas J. Davis
A book of love, hope, and warmth, The Christmas Quilt is about home, about roots, and about "one small snowflake following another, settling on the ground soft like a kiss from heaven, covering Smoky Hollow like a blanket of grace that shines white with goodness." — Reminiscent of Lee Smith's Oral History or of Cold...  more » by Olive Ann Burns for its intimate portrayal of mountain life in an earlier day, The Christmas Quilt is a compelling and tender account of seven months in the lives of the members of a family in the mountains of north Georgia. It will endear you not only to its storyline, but to the pictures it paints of Sunday dinners, of picking blackberries, of running train tracks, of a revival meeting, and of Granny creating a quilt for her long-absent son.

This is a very real recall of earlier times- simple virtues such as responsibility, respect for the wisdom of the aged and the value of a "thank you". It recalls childhood at a time before car seats, polluted streams, food preservatives, child snatchers, and the mind numbing effects of video games and TV. This is the generation that preserved freedom here on Earth ( two times in 20+ years) and then came home to send an American to the moon. Simply a treasure of a book.
