After graduating high school at age sixteen and college at twenty, he became a fighter pilot in the United States Navy. Jackie even flew with the famed Blue Angels, the navy's elite demonstration flight squadron. When Jackie returned home to Winchester, Massachusetts, for Christmas in 1956, he received a hero's welcome. But no one was more excited to see Jackie than his youngest brother, Billy. In The Farewell Christmas, William Shields shares the story of his last Christmas with his older brother Jackie. With his hero home for the holidays, ten-year-old Billy has a Christmas he will never forget. From the time Jackie surprises Billy on his evening paper route to their last good-bye, Jackie shows Billy what being a hero is all about. Billy's love for his older brother shines through in an inspiring way as he relives a time of sledding, snowball fights, and family feasts and reminds us all that the best gift is spending Christmas with family. A bittersweet story of faith, family, and innocence, The Farewell Christmas will take all readers back to their own childhood Christmases and inspire them to create memories with their families that will last a lifetime.
Book Synopsis General Washington's Christmas Farewell by : Stanley Weintraub
Download or read book General Washington's Christmas Farewell written by Stanley Weintraub and published by Free Press. This book was released on 2007-06-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of America's greatest Christmas stories and also one of its very first -- from the period between the end of the Revolutionary War and the ratification of the Constitution -- was a creation of none other than George Washington. The story isn't just about Washington coming home for Christmas for the first time since the war began, but about the character of our most important Founding Father and about the precedent he set for democratic leadership. It is the story of a loving husband, a beloved military leader, and above all, a humble and great man. In late November 1783 when Washington finally received formal notice of the signing of a peace treaty with England he had little more than a month to accept the transfer of power from British troops in New York; to bid farewell to his troops; and to resign his commission to Congress if he hoped to make it to Mount Vernon for Christmas. He could have remained in charge of the army and become a virtual king to the Americans who loved him. Control of the newly forming government was his to take -- yet he chose to resign. It was that decision, coupled with his later decision to step down from the presidency after two terms, that rendered him "the greatest character of the age" (according to none other than King George III). Washington's homeward journey is one of the most moving and inspiring stories from his great and eventful life. When he bade farewell to his troops at Fraunces Tavern in New York City there were no dry eyes. When he reached Congress and gave a retirement speech, it cemented his greatness more fully than had his victory over the British. When he made it to Mount Vernon, finally, on Christmas Eve, it could not have been a happier homecoming. General Washington's Christmas Farewell is a deeply moving Christmas story as well as a great American story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Proustian journey into the interior, a dazzling psychodrama and, arguably, one of the best novels out of Spain in recent decades" Kirkus Reviews On the day he is released from prison in Madrid, Leonardo learns of his parents' death in a car crash. He returns to their empty town house, a rich young man now, but with a life to reconstruct out of fragments. At first all he wants is to be atone to took over books, diaries, and old photographs, the mute witnesses to his own childhood and his parents' wretched marriage. But in time he concentrates on the Quinta Blanca, the white house by the cuff edge where his grandmother used to nourish him on stories, especially Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen". When Leonardo revisits this childhood home at Christmas as the guest of its new owner, Casilda, he, too, has the sliver of ice removed from his heart by the one woman capable of doing so, and his own redemption is at hand. The Farewell Angel is about storytelling, about the determining power of stories to harm and to heat. Centered around a lighthouse and the sea-washed rocks beneath it, this haunting novel is a triumph of subtle narrative by the prize-winning author of Variable Cloud.
