Book Description

October 2, 2001
The Christmas Bell is the story of a young woman's search for her roots and the secrets she uncovers one special Christmas.

At Christmas time thirty years ago, Taylor Winfield, at three months of age, was adopted. She was told there was nothing known about her birth parents. However, when her adoptive mother lay dying, she told Taylor that the secret of where she came from was in a bell, a bell Taylor hadn't known existed.

This information sends Taylor on a search for the bell and her roots. What she finds on this journey is truly a Christmas story, as she uncovers secrets decades old.

More About the Author

Ira Hughes grew up in Kentucky. The author of several books, including The Christmas Bell, Mask and Seeds of Light, I now live and write in Indiana.

I have also written short stories, poetry and three children's books.

When I write the characters appear and have a story to tell and I'm the storyteller. Most times I don't know who or what will appear.

I hope the reader will see what I see in my books and enjoy the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, October 26, 2001
By 
B. Tapley (New Castle, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Christmas Bell (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book so much. It just pulled me along. I could hardly wait to see what was going to happen next. It is a great story to read at Christmas time, but would be a good book to read any time of the year.
I bought extra copies to give as Christmas gifts to family and friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Bell Rings One, November 21, 2001
By 
"sprench" (Mooreland, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Christmas Bell (Paperback)
When Taylor begins her search, you not only feel her need to find her real mother but meet some delightful people along the way. The landlady and her "friend", the young man next door, the childhood friend all add depth and appeal. Add to that a large dose of small town Christmas and you have a joyous holiday experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Christmas Bell, November 13, 2001
By 
Lynda McClellan (Knightstown, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Christmas Bell (Paperback)
It's a story you can't put down once you begin reading it. Taylor, a woman searching to find her real parents goes to Dell Colorado. The author paints a realistic image of a friendly small town at the Christmas season where Taylor believes she will find clues to who her parents were and the secret of the bell. It's an interesting adventure with an intriguing ending.
