For nearly forty years Patricia Lane wrote annual Christmas and New Year greetings to her family members and friends, composing the greetings in what she often called Òhomespun rhymes.Ó Now she has gathered most of those annual newsletters in a quaint and stimulating collection of memories that will inspire and inform the readers. This is real Americana literature, reminding you of over one hundred influential people in our national life and over one hundred twenty events and circumstances we experienced together. The articles reflect on our joys in the midst of tragedies and sorrows and on our blessings in the midst of national disappointments. With her own special blend of wit and wisdom, insight and inspiration, encouragement and hope, the author recalls come of the people, events, and circumstances of each past year as she points the readers to GodÕs grace and promise for each year to come., athletes, Christ, Christmas, disasters, elections, Democrats, Patricia Lane| 9781387571659 | 80PAGES
