A Special Christmas Story

by Audrey Phillips Cox

Overview

This is a story about a ten-year-old girl named Lucy. She is a precocious child who has a vivid imagination, lots of energy, many friends, and loves Christmas. Her life is nearly perfect except for the three kids who live next door to her. They are two boys and one girl, Marie, who is a grumpy ten-year-old that is always picking a fight with Lucy. Since she acts so mean, Lucy hates Marie. The story is set in 1948, and Lucy lives with her parents who have all the modern conveniences for that period of time. She loves to go to her grandparent's home in the country, especially for the yearly family Christmas Eve get-together. Her grandparents have no electricity; therefore, they have no modern conveniences. This does not deter her grandmother, Grammy, from preparing a festive meal for everyone to enjoy. However, Grammy suffers a small personal tragedy that disrupts the festivities, and how the family reacts to the tragedy shows Lucy how important the love of family means. Does it also mean that she needs to love Marie and her two brothers also? This will take a miracle from God.

About the Author

Audrey started writing over ten years ago. Having a passionate love of books, she developed a desire to also write books. Although she wanted to start writing earlier in life, her busy lifestyle would not allow her to do so because she worked as a registered nurse while raising a family. However, while earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in college, she took writing/English courses. She was forced to retire early from nursing to take care of her debilitated mother which freed her from working outside the home. Needing to earn money, she worked from home for a company that provided articles that averaged about 500 words for websites. This company was very strict, to the point of being picky, and she honed her writing skills. Possessing a vivid imagination and having lived through a lot of good, bad, and ugly experiences in her life, she began to write books. She has written and published six books.
