HTML:<p>In her previous work<i>,</i> Christine Pisera Naman has become well-known for sharing the small but inspiring lessons she has learned from the real-life struggles and triumphs of average people. <i>Christmas Lights</i>, Naman's first work of fiction, evokes that same warmth and tenderness in stories set during the holiday season and centered on the lives of ordinary women.<br /> <br /> In separate vignettes, we meet Katherine, who is taking care of her ailing husband; Julianna, juggling with construction paper, scissors, and rubber cement in a room full of high-spirited four-year-olds; Adrianna, struggling with the difficulties of marriage; Cassandra, the busy mother of toddlers; Victoria, searching for a love to call her own; Alexandra, a young woman waiting for word from her doctor about an uncertain diagnosis; and Isabella, discovering the gift of motherhood. The lives of all the women come together in a moving conclusion that perfectly captures the heart and soul of the holiday spirit.<br /> <br /> Alternately laugh-out-loud funny and poignant, <i>Christmas Lights</i> celebrates the most significant aspects of the season. Small, beautifully designed, and full of festive cheer, it is the ideal gift for anyone longing to rediscover the magic of Christmas.</p>. HTML:"Luminous! Sometimes, when spending time with children, it is just so clear that they are <i>our</i> teachers. <i>Caterpillar Kisses</i> shows us some of the small but tender lessons we stumble upon during the metamorphosis that occurs each and every day in a young child's life.". HTML:Ann S. Ruethling, author of <i>Under the Chinaberry Tree</i>. "The twelve vignettes shared in this little book are poignant, funny, exhilarating, hopeful, and life-affirming. And they can only be told by an adult who cares enough to really see the miracles of life through the eyes of children. Give this book to anyone who wants and needs to see the magic in the world.".
