A Midnight Clear: Stories for the Christmas Season by Katherine PatersonReviewed by Cathy S., Librarian
Just in time for Christmas, I discovered this charming collection of stories by award-winning author, Katherine Paterson. Twelve stories illuminate what it means to be human—sometimes inhumane—in our relationships with family, friends, utter strangers. But even when a situation seems hopeless, there is redemption and hope. A man driving for his last visit to his dying father picks up a young hitchhiker who attempts to rob him; the chilly bond between a husband and wife melts at the sudden birth of their baby far from home; a teen home alone relents when a homeless family needs shelter; a young boy from the local church stumbles into an unlikely friendship. A delightful read for the season or anytime!
