About this ebook
Remember the true meaning of the holidays with three touching novellas from best-selling author Lurlene McDaniel.
In the opening novella, "Christmas Child," 15-year-old Melanie is just getting used to the idea of having a sister when she learns that the child will only live for a few hours. But Melanie learns much about love during her sister's brief but poignant life. In "The Last Dance," Brenda is faced with the difficult choice between good intentions and what she really wants when she becomes the last chance for happiness for a dying boy. In "Kathy's Life," two 16-years-olds seem to have everything on the surface, but not everything is as perfect as it appears.

When I was thirteen, my English teacher had us read for ten minutes every day. One day I picked up this book, and my teacher had to constantly scold me and put the book back bc I would sneak and read while she was teaching. I'm eighteen now and this is still one of my favorite books, and I only read it that one time five years ago. This book was completely and utterly excellent.
