Line drawings.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In the tradition of Christmas memoirs such as <i>A Child's Christmas in Wales</i> and <i>A Christmas Memory, The Hired Man's Christmas</i> is the story of how the events of two Christmas Eves brought George Givens from boyhood into manhood.</b> <p/>Every summer a mysterious man known only as Frank arrives to help George Givens's grandfather with his farmwork. No one knows the hired man's last name, where he comes from, or why he always seems to be so sad. Once the season's crops are harvested, he disappears only to reappear the following summer. This routine continues for many years -- until one fateful Christmas Eve. <p/>The hired man never returns to the Givens farm after that day, and the mystery of his final disappearance seems destined to remain unsolved. Then, on Christmas Eve many years later, George serendipitously discovers the long-lost hired man's fate. This discovery teaches him a powerful lesson about the importance of family and the endurance of love. <p/><i>The Hired Man's Christmas</i> is a story of simpler times, but its message resonates across the years and in the hearts of fathers and sons even today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>LaVyrle Spencer If you like a little Christmas tear in your eye, and a little Christmas lump in your throat from a little Christmas book that's filled with a message of love...this is the story for you.<br>
