Harold P. Kurtz
|
The author knows from personal experience what a fishbowl life the small-town parsonage was like in Midwest America 60 years ago. Surrounded by loving parents, siblings, relatives, and some interesting small town characters, the author exercises keen observation and memory to bring these homespun stories to life. This book will bring Christmas joy to any reader's world.
