The plot lines are transparent and the writing is dull. Please save your money by finding it on eBay or Half Books.

Grab a cup of tea, your warm quilt and crash into a comfy chair to spend some time with this book. A HOLIDAY SAMPLER is filled with stories that will touch you in ways you might not expect. Ms. Collier presents fifteen of them for our enjoyment and I was especially moved by her Veteran's Day story, PEACE. Echoes of my own life from the Vietnam era abound in this charming tale and may move you as well. The author also includes stories for holidays like Arbor Day and St. Patrick's Day, celebrations that are often neglected in favor of the more spectacular Christmas and Independence Day. Whether you read one at a time or all of them at once, you won't be disappointed.
