Book Review: A bargain priced stocking stuffer to bring joy into a Christmas.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a sentimental family-oriented "feel good" book about Christmas in 1918. It depicts life in an earlier century. But even while set during a war period, it was a time when people looked out after one another, neighbor helped neighbor, and a family was a more stable relationship. This is a bit of fictionalized family-history but well worth the time to read. It just might make your Christmas brighter.
The Golden Ring is about the live of young Anna who lives in the Pennsylvania coal area. The ring, a cherished gift from her father, is passed on to a poor, needy family traveling through the area in search of a home and work just prior to Christmas. The real story is about love, and giving, and caring not only for family but for others as well. It is the story of a young girl living out the true meaning of Christmas--something not everyone in today's world will understand. In the end (the predictable ending) the entire family enjoys the rewards of a manger-centered Christmas rather than a worldly Santa focus.
Give this as a replacement for a Christmas card. You'll be thanked. One book that is worth the read, year after year after year.
