Book excerpt: A sampler of praise for THE SOUND OF SLEIGH BELLS: The book tells in a humorous, but often sad way about life in a nursing home where the residents are getting ready for Christmas. Both authors worked in a care center & know their subject well. Anyway, one of the book's critics said the book will someday become a minor classic. He continues "It is a delicate & heart-arresting work of fiction. While it may take awhile for the reader to realize they are holding a precious jewel in their hands, in time this will become a confirmed statement of fact." We echo that critic's assessment. It's a fine little book that is hard to put down. (MAX MAXON, DAILY FREEMAN JOURNAL). We read & re-read THE SOUND OF SLEIGH BELLS...laughing until we cry...other times...just crying...as we reach for Kleenex already damp."
