ABOUT THE BOOK
With the same incomparable style and warm, inviting voice that have made her beloved by millions of readers far and wide, New York Times
bestselling author Fannie Flagg has written an enchanting Christmas
story of faith and hope for all ages that is sure to become a classic.
Deep
in the southernmost part of Alabama, along the banks of a lazy winding
river, lies the sleepy little community known as Lost River, a place
that time itself seems to have forgotten. After a startling diagnosis
from his doctor, Oswald T. Campbell leaves behind the cold and damp of
the oncoming Chicago winter to spend what he believes will be his last
Christmas in the warm and welcoming town of Lost River. There he meets
the postman who delivers mail by boat, the store owner who nurses a
broken heart, the ladies of the Mystic Order of the Royal Polka Dots
Secret Society, who do clandestine good works.
And he meets a little
redbird named Jack, who is at the center of this tale of a magical
Christmas when something so amazing happened that those who witnessed it
have never forgotten it. Once you experience the wonder, you too will
never forget A Redbird Christmas.
