Remembering Christmas

De: Dan Walsh

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A wayward son.
A struggling bookstore.
A stepfather he never wanted.
A mother who won’t stop praying.
And a Christmas none of them will ever forget.

Rick Denton lives his life on his terms. He works hard, plays hard and answers to no one. So when his mother calls on Thanksgiving weekend begging him to come home after his stepfather has a stroke, Rick is reluctant. He's never liked Art, despite the fact his own father abandoned them when Rick was twelve. Rick's attitude sours even more when a couple of days helping at the family bookstore turns into weeks of cashing out old ladies and running off the homeless man who keeps hanging about,

Slowly but surely, the little bookstore and its quirky patrons—as well as the lovely young woman who works at his side each day—work their magic on him, revealing to Rick a shocking truth about his family, his own life, and the true meaning of Christmas.

Set in a small seaside town during the Christmas season of 1980, Remembering Christmas is a moving holiday story about forgiveness, second chances, and the unexpected ways God can write hope back into a broken life.

Wow, this was great. I discovered this author 4 days ago and have listened to every available book and I have truly enjoyed every one of them. 🙏🏽 Thank you

A good Christmas read

Dan Walsh is a great story teller and I enjoy the fact that his books have meaning . The virtual computer narration reading was sometimes hard to listen to (monotone and no inflections or meaning) , and also funny at times . For instance , when 911 was called , the virtual narrator said "Nine hundred and eleven, what's your emergency?" Or when some one's eye teared up the computer narrator said her eyes were "tearing" (as in tearing a piece of paper). There may be a place for computers, it's not in reading books .
