This new, expanded edition of Miracle and Other Christmas Stories features twelve brilliantly reimagined holiday tales, five of which are collected here for the first time. Christmas comes but once a year, yet the stories in this dazzling collection are fun to read anytime. They put a speculative spin on the holiday, giving fans of acclaimed author Connie Willis a welcome gift and a dozen reasons to be of good cheer. Brimming with Willis’s trademark insights and imagination, these heartwarming tales are full of humor, absurdity, human foibles, tragedy, joy, and hope. They both embrace and send up many of the best Christmas traditions, including the holiday newsletter, Secret Santas, office parties, holiday pageants, and Christmas dinners (both elaborate and spare). There are Rockettes, the best and worst Christmas movies, modern-day Magi, Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet to Come—and the triumph of generosity over greed. Like all the timeless classics we return to year after year, these stories affirm our faith in love, magic, and the wonder of the season. Praise for A Lot Like Christmas “A perfect stocking stuffer for Christmas—celebrating fans of [Connie] Willis’s humorous SF.”—Publishers Weekly “A collection of Christmas stories with just the right blend of sugar and spice . . . sweet and sharp, whimsical and heartfelt, funny and warm . . . Fans of Willis’s gently comic speculative fiction will love this collection, and it will also appeal to readers looking to get into the holiday spirit.”—Kirkus Reviews
In her final book of her trilogy series, Ellen Gibson-Adler gives us a moving and unforgettable story that portrays the transformative journey of a military family ultimately forced to put down roots. The reconciliation and reckoning of the characters we have grown to love in the saga adventures o the Lyons family is buoyed by their humor, wit, and a determination to rise above the odds that stand in the way of these eccentric, talented, damaged, and lovable people. Nelle swallows rejection and blooms in love, while her parents struggle to remake themselves after the realities of war and isolation shred their former selves. Cast as perpetual outsiders on an anchorless vessel, they fight to find footing on unfamiliar ground amid strangers. The love of a grandfather and the friendships that slowly evolve, deliver safety and salvation from a tumultuous past with abiding hope for promising expectations. As Nelle and her family grapple with charting a future steeped in the turbulence of growing up and growing old, we embrace the successes and failures of these all too human characters. Through the lens of loss, the light of laughter, and the revelation of wisdom, and the peace of acceptance, comes a beautiful story of how forgiveness leads to the road to redemption and the power of love, no matter the age or station in life. Above all trials and beyond all obstacles, follow the Lyons to the pride of home in the final book of the family saga trilogy. If you are a fan of Jeannette Walls, Anne Tyler, or Tara Westover, this is your next great read.
"An unnamed American city feeling the effects of a war waged far away and suffering from bad weather is the backdrop for this startling work of fiction. The protagonists are aimless young men going from one blue collar job to the next, or in a few cases, aspiring to middle management. Their everyday struggles--with women, with the morning commute, with a series of cruel bosses--are somehow transformed into storytelling that is both universally resonant and wonderfully uncanny. That is the unsettling, funny, and ultimately heartfelt originality of Saïd Sayrafiezadeh's short fiction, to be at home in a world not quite our own but with many, many lessons to offer us"--
