The Three Christmases of William Spencer

By: Derek Blount

Narrated by: Derek Blount

Christmas is always special, but even more so if your birthday falls on the same day. As William Spencer celebrates his birthday each year on December 25 - first as a child in rural America in the 1930s, and then as a World War II veteran, husband, and father - he learns that, no matter what his circumstances, happiness is an attitude, not a condition. But as a solitary old man living in a one-bedroom apartment, William Spencer expects this Christmas birthday to be his last.

His holiday is one of solitude and reflection, dominated by the echoes of the past and by a single, simple wish. When an unexpected turn of events reminds William of a lesson learned many years ago, he's faced with a choice. Can he find the strength to imagine a new future?

Hailed as a "truly beautiful book", you will want to revisit The Three Christmases of William Spencer every holiday season.
