All Grandma ever wanted for Christmas was to have her family together. Twenty-nine-year-old Claire eloped to escape the memories of her parents, believing that her grandmother was responsible for their deaths. Twenty-seven-year-old Jack rarely comes home, having bought into Claire\u2019s memories of the tragic night their parents were killed. Twenty-year-old Darby was only six when her parents died, ten when Claire ran away, and twelve when Jack left the house. Darby stayed home to take care of the grandmother who raised her. The kitchen at the Cavanaugh\u2019s has always been the heart of the home. As Darby says, \u201cGrandma always said, \u2018You miss all the good stuff if you stay out of the kitchen.\u2019\u201d When the Cavanaugh children gather in the kitchen, it is a fun, humorous and sometimes sad trip down memory lane. <em>Grandma\u2019s Christmas Wish<\/em> is a warm, humorous and touching family story that helps us discover, along with the Cavanaugh children, that God and family are all that truly matter.<\/p>\n<p>A perfect book for families to read together.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PRODUCT DETAILS: (Buy from the Purchasing Section, below)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>PAPERBACK EDITION<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>128 pages<\/li>\n<li>5&#8243; x 8&#8243; (12.7 x 20.32 cm)<\/li>\n<li>Black &amp; White on Cream paper<\/li>\n<li>ISBN-13: 978-0692735084 (Leicester Bay Books)<br \/>\nISBN-10: 0692735089<\/li>\n<li>Leicester Bay Books Trade paperback, 1st edition<\/li>\n<li>BISAC: Fiction \/ Holidays<\/li>\n<li><strong>Print List Price: $8.99<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong> KINDLE EDITION<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kindle List Price: $3.99<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><b>File Size:<\/b> 3538 KB<\/li>\n<li><b>Print Length:<\/b> 95 pages<\/li>\n<li><b>Publisher:<\/b> Leicester Bay Books; 1st edition (August 23, 2016)<\/li>\n<li><b>Publication Date:<\/b> August 23, 2016<\/li>\n<li id=\"sold-by-merchant\"><b>Sold by:<\/b>\u00a0Amazon Digital Services LLC<\/li>\n<li><b>Language:<\/b> English<\/li>\n<li><b>ASIN:<\/b> B01KY00JL0<\/li>\n<li><b>Text-to-Speech: <\/b> Enabled<a id=\"ttsPop\" class=\"kicsPopover a-declarative\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01KY00JL0#\"> <\/a><\/li>\n<li><b>Word Wise:<\/b> Enabled<\/li>\n<li><b>Lending:<\/b> Enabled<\/li>\n<li><b>Enhanced Typesetting:<\/b> Enabled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Available!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PREVIEW THE FIRST CHAPTER<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0a PDF <strong>PreviewPages<\/strong> file is available and contains the front matter and Chapters One &amp; Two: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmichaelperry.com\/leicesterbaybooks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Grandmas-Christmas-WishPREVIEW.pdf\">Grandma&#8217;s Christmas WishPREVIEW<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The author has established a FACEBOOK fan page &#8212; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apparitionsofamerica\/?notif_t=fbpage_fan_invite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>REVIEWS &amp; COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Comment by a reader &#8212; <strong>Nicole Olson<\/strong> &#8212;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;This book is amazing!

It took me a couple chapters to catch up to the quick pace&#8230; Normally writers fill a book with fluff and description to stretch it out and make it &#8220;theirs&#8221; but this quick paced book gives you plenty of opportunity to use your own imagination and make your mind create its own visual. It&#8217;s a refreshing way to read. I can see this as the type of book I could give a copy to a friend or neighbor for Christmas with a gift basket of cookies and hot chocolate&#8230;it&#8217;s all a curl up and snack type of book!&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PURCHASING DETAILS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>PAPERBACK EDITION<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Purchase a <strong>PAPERBACK<\/strong> <strong>PRINT<\/strong> version for <strong>$7.99<\/strong> (+ shipping and handling and Maine Sales Tax) through us by using our PayPal Shopping Cart and the &#8220;Add To Cart&#8221; button below.<strong> (Be sure to enter your zip code when prompted to enable the correct shipping charges so you get your book(s) in a timely manner.)<\/strong><br \/>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"paypal\"><input alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_cart_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/form>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>KINDLE EDITION<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Purchase the <strong>KINDLE<\/strong> version for\u00a0 <strong>$3.99<\/strong> directly from Amazon.com<strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Grandmas-Christmas-Wish-Shelley-Bingham-ebook\/dp\/B01KY00JL0\">JERE<\/a>)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><strong>Bookstores and Resellers<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>If you are a <strong>bookstore<\/strong> or other <strong>reseller<\/strong> and wish to carry this title, or special order a copy for a special customer, contact us by <a href=\"mailto:cmichaelperry53@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>email<\/strong><\/a> for a quote on Library and wholesale prices.
