If you happen to like this author, another book of his appears to be on deep discount sale (at least to Canadians), at just $2.99 for his historical Christian fiction novel The Deepest Waters, apparently about the real-life sinking of a pre-US Civil War steamship with a lost cargo of gold. His other novels from the same publisher cost roughly 3 times as much.
ETA: Also discounted to the same price for Nook, it seems, and likely to be on sale elsewhere as well.
Description
Rick Denton lives his life on his terms. He works hard, plays hard, and answers to no one. So when his mother calls on Thanksgiving weekend begging him to come home after his stepfather has a stroke, Rick is more than a little reluctant. He's never liked Art and resents the man's presence in his life, despite the fact that his own father abandoned the family when Rick was just twelve. When what was supposed to be just a couple days helping out at the family bookstore turns into weeks of cashing out old ladies and running off the homeless man who keep hanging about, Rick's attitude sours even more.
Still, slowly but surely, the little bookstore and its quirky patrons--as well as the lovely young woman who works at his side each day--work their magic on him, revealing to Rick the truth about his family, his own life, and the true meaning of Christmas. With skillful storytelling, Dan Walsh creates a Christmas story will have readers remembering every good and perfect gift of Christmas.
