Ellen Gable is the author of the GREAT WAR GREAT LOVE series. And the first book in the series, JULIA'S GIFTS, is a Christmas-time must-read!
As a young girl, Julia began buying gifts for her future spouse, a man whose likeness and personality she has conjured up in her mind, a man she calls her "beloved." Working as a medical aid worker, she soon becomes disheartened by the realities of war and is tempted to abandon the pursuit of her beloved. From Philadelphia to war-torn France, follow Julia as she transitions from unworldly young woman to compassionate volunteer.
Christmas music makes the holidays so special. Today author Ellen Gable is sharing a beautiful Christmas video: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings Medley" by her family (Hrkach and Sons).
Author's Christmas Fun Fact
My favorite Christmas movie is IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE with Jimmy Stewart. The first time I saw it was Thanksgiving weekend in 1976 with my father. I was enthralled with the story and have watched it every year since then (it was the first video I purchased in 1982!) The quote "Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” affects me every time I hear it. I mention this movie in my short story, "No Greater Love" in ASHES: VISIBLE & INVISIBLE.
