The Christmas Whistle

Résumé du livre

Duncan Gibson craved what every boy wants: freedom. Freedom from the drudgery of frontier life, freedom from his parents' demands, freedom from responsibility. When he runs away to sea from colonial North Carolina, he thinks he has finally found his independence.

A long ocean voyage, however, reminds him of how much he left behind. Now that he realizes the truth, can he ever go back? Perhaps - with a little Christmas magic - he will discover the strength of his family's love.

The Christmas Whistle is a holiday short story set in colonial America. While its setting and feel are authentic to the time period, the themes of growing up and the power of family resonate through the ages. The Christmas Whistle will warm your heart and fill you with enough holiday cheer to last well into the new year!
