On October 23, 2007, Harper Collins will release The Christmas Pearl by Dorothea Benton Frank. This book can only be described as a heart warming and magical Christmas story. Literary Illusions is proud to partner with Harper Collins in giving away five copies of this amazing novel.
From The Christmas Pearl book page on Harper Collins:
Theodora is the matriarch of a family that has grown into a bunch of truculent knuckleheads. While she’s finally gotten them all together in South Carolina to celebrate, this Christmas looks nothing like the extravagant, homey holidays of her childhood.
What happened to the days when Christmas meant tables groaning with home-cooked goodies, over-the-top decorations, and long chats in front of the fire with Pearl, her grandmother’s beloved housekeeper and closest confidante?
Luckily for Theodora, a special someone who heard her plea for help arrives, with pockets full of enough Gullah magic and common sense to make Theodora’s Christmas the love-filled miracle it’s meant to be.
