Colleen’s collection of Christmas stories,  “Christmas on Pleasant Hill.”:

This book of twelve short stories is the natural outcome of years of curling up in an armchair in front of a lit Christmas tree reading any Christmas book available. Sooner or later, you just have to pitch in one of your own. Set in a city neighborhood a lot like the one where Colleen lives, these stories can be as poignant as Dickens and as goofy as Charlie Brown.

 Introduction to “Christmas on Pleasant Hill”:

Pleasant Hill is a neighborhood of both unusual beauty and desperate poverty. Here, people who don’t know where Christmas dinner will come from, live next to mansions glittering with lights. These magical stories visit all kinds of homes and all ages of people, reminding us how much we all need  to live into the renewing, powerful truths we celebrate at Christmas.
