“There were many touching stories in this book that definitely invoked the Christmas spirit. I thoroughly enjoyed Mermaid’s Treasure. I enjoyed the historical references, and the story was intriguing and unique. For a short story, the author did an amazing job of character development. When I was done reading it, I definitely wanted to know more about the characters and the story. I also enjoyed The Cancer Christmas. It struck an emotional chord that many of us as readers can relate to.” — A.L.
