"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."

“The plan which I had formed in the beginning, to give in in all minor matters, so as to keep what was of vital importance to me, had turned out to be a failure. I had consented to give away my possessions one by one, as a kind of ransom for my own life, but by the time that I had nothing left, I myself was the lightest thing of all, for fate to get rid of.”
Isak Dinesen, Out of Africa

Nancy Atherton, Aunt Dimity and the Widow's Curse

Melanie Shankle
“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.”
Melanie Shankle, Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generational Trauma
