SECOND CHANCE CHRISTMAS
A True Story
Second Chance Christmas is the true story of that Christmas in 1971 and the lesson that unfolded over the following year. Being accepted for exactly who you are will always be a greater gift than anything found beneath a Christmas tree. And sometimes, a tangible reminder of that unconditional acceptance shows up ... just when you need it the most.
Praise for Second Chance Christmas
“Janet captures so beautifully the hard work involved when growing up on a farm, sibling rivalry, and the greatest gift of all—forgiveness ... This story is so needed today.”
- Mary Kay Yonker, Principal, Sacred Heart Academy
“Second Chance Christmas is a beautifully written and illustrated story about the author’s memories of one special Christmas when she learned an indelible lesson about the nature of forgiveness.”
- Lorrie Taylor, Director, Alma Public Library
CHRISTMAS OF 1971 was the year that I learned three important things about Santa Claus.
First, Santa is always watching at the worst possible moment.
Second, Santa realizes that no one is perfect.
And third, Santa knows that the most important things in this world are the things that you cannot see.
