<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>In <i>An Indiana Christmas</i>, editor Bryan Furuness brings together timeless short stories, poems, plays, and letters to help you get into the holiday spirit.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Imagine a moonlit railroad track, a rural road and barn covered with just a dusting of snow, a hound dog asleep by the woodstove, and a Red Ryder BB gun hidden behind the tinseled tree--all the makings of an unforgettable Indiana Christmas. In <i>An Indiana Christmas</i>, editor Bryan Furuness brings together timeless short stories, poems, plays, and letters to help you get into the holiday spirit. Lose yourself in classics like In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd, which inspired the beloved movie <i>A Christmas Story</i>, and A Feel in the Christmas Air<i> </i>by James Whitcomb Riley, along with more recent literary works like The Myth of the Perfect Christmas Photo Family by Kelsey Timmerman and While Mortals Sleep by famed Indiana writer Kurt Vonnegut. To achieve the perfect combination of Christmas nostalgia and cheer, Furuness has curated Hoosier stories that allow you to experience an idyllic holiday gathering in Indiana Winter by Susan Neville, feel the excitement of a child on Christmas Eve with Earthbound by Barbara Shoup, and face the loneliness of a drifter on Christmas night in Howard Garfield, Balladeer by Edward Porter. The collection even offers the chance to read a Christmas war dispatch from the late, great Hoosier journalist Ernie Pyle. Heartfelt and unique, <i>An Indiana Christmas</i> paints a picture of what Hoosiers truly hold dear. Family, love, giving, hope, and faith shine through these poignant stories, which are sure to put you in good spirits for the holidays.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Bryan Furuness delivers three dozen views of <i>An Indiana Christmas</i> in this new compendium of stories, poems, essays, bits of thought, personal scenes enlarged and condensed, poignant moments crystalized and timelessness upended, all spinning from that whirl on a plastic chair Barbara Shoup relates in the opening offering. . . . <i>An Indiana Christmas</i> invites us inside ourselves: our motivations, our challenges, our ability to connect with the call to care about this planet--our home universally in need of repair.</p>--Rita Kohn "Nuvo"<br><br><p>Indiana's deep literary heritage is celebrated in a new anthology with a seasonal theme. . . .
