The Third Six

by Keith Eldred

These holiday stories remind us that miracles can touch anyone anywhere. In this third of four volumes, a Christmas pageant participant fumbles a fragile figurine … a forlorn driver finds himself in a car chase to protect an old man … a son evades his mother’s plea to bake holiday cookies … a gift is unwrapped in stages in a country church on Christmas Eve … confusion ensues after a family’s car is stuck in a snowbank … and caretakers reflect on an infant’s precarious birth.

Keith Eldred wrote these tales over decades starting at age 13, until the complete set of 24 (across the four books) comprised a “story advent” that he delivered in 24 separate locations leading up to Christmas one year. The four print covers interlock into one larger image.

About the author

Keith Eldred created the THIS IS RED project with his wife Janet, a public library director diagnosed with early-stage dementia. With Janet's condition making every day precious, they decided to make the most of 2020, the year of their 30th anniversary, by publishing 20 books. All profits from these titles go the Hollidaysburg Area Public Library, where Janet works. See more at www.thisis.red.
