It is said that a crisis will either make or break a family. Sometimes, even the strongest of relationships can fall apart when troubles arise, and we can be shocked by the manner in which people respond to problems. Issues which were previously ignored or buried are suddenly emphasized, demanding attention, at any cost. Left ignored, the price is very high, as the family in this book discovers. A Christmas Spirit is an intensely emotional story about a family's journey through a very difficult and turbulent period. Already having endured many hardships, this family is fractured without even realizing it until the youngest child becomes critically ill. With Christmas approaching, the little girl's health takes a dramatic turn for the worse. Quietly, her parents and brothers begin falling apart and it doesn't take long before the fractures become enormous cracks, threatening to shatter the family completely. Four-year-old Angelina watches as her family is forced to confront its demons, and she longs for her parents and brothers to find their way to healing. But as with many healing journeys, things must get a lot worse before even beginning to get better... A Christmas Spirit is certain to move its readers to tears as they connect and identify with each member of the Lane family. Meet Angelina and the others: Wife and mother, Kathy, so lost in her own emotions that she withdraws from life, entirely in denial; her husband, Robert, guilt-ridden and feeling inadequate; teen son, James, consumed by his own anger to the point of self-destruction; and Elijah, the wise old ten-year-old soul, trying to be the glue that holds his family together. Follow these troubled hearts, who are lost and struggling to find their way through the darkness, and who have lost all hope of ever finding the light.
