An ice storm turns the grounds of Ion into glittering diamonds, and Grandma Elsie Travilla gathers her children, grandchildren and the Raymond family for the coming holiday. The chapters follow the preparations, the gifts, the pets and the small moral trials of the children as Elsie guides them toward a Christmas spent in faith and kindness.
A gentle entry in the long Elsie Dinsmore series, whose Southern domestic world reflects its 1880s outlook. Download the free EPUB.
