"This has two Christmas stories mixed in with the other short stories so I read those first. Tis the season for Christmas wonder! Pilcher is brilliant at developing fully created characters even in a short story.
It would be interesting to go through all of Pilcher’s books and take note of how many times she describes someone peeling potatoes in the kitchen. Real Life." — Dec 26, 2025 06:12AM

“The old lady continued, "We women, my child, are often very simple. But that any female would lack reason to such a degree that she would start reasoning with a man--that is beyond my comprehension! She has lost the battle, my dear child, she has lost the battle before it began! No, if a woman will have her way with a man she must look him square in the eye and say something of which it is impossible for him to make any sense whatsoever and to which he is at a loss to reply. He is defeated at once.”

“It’s often the wounds caused by our families that cut the deepest and leave the most apparent scars, but God can absolutely heal those wounds. Your family history doesn’t have to be your future. Ask Him to stop the dysfunction and create a new legacy, and then watch what He does. He is the road map that will guide you into a new land of promise and freedom if you trust Him enough to walk that path in obedience.”
