When Holidays Turn Out Anything But Ordinary

Not all holidays start out standard-issue. Some celebrate different days or traditions. Others take a hit of the unexpected.
Sometimes the cast of characters defies all expectations, but turns out better than anyone imagined in the end.
These holiday stories from Jason A. Adams and Kari Kilgore throw away the usual blueprint. From righting wrongs to finding recovery, from redefining family to discovering the place you belong.
Take a break from typical holiday fare and enjoy a new perspective on winter celebrations.

Includes Ballerinas and SuperCats, Pungent Justice, The Twelve Steps of Christmas, Finding Sanctuary, A True Family Holiday, Virginia’s Last Old Christmas Eve, A Convenience Store Christmas, and The Inn, the Black Cat, and Two Halves of the Same Heart
