Cold Christmas Reggie Walton

Christmas can be a difficult time. This is compounded when life has already dealt out some twisted cards. Meet the young boy confused why his father left and the mother who has no words to comfort him or herself. Meet the homeless couple looking for some warmth on a cold day; the terminally ill patient savouring his last Christmas; the detective looking for joy amid the grotesque memories; the vicar losing his faith and his mental well-being; the out-of-work father looking for a little money to provide for his family. In this collection of short stories, written in a variety of styles, we explore those broken souls who attempt to make the best of what they have. It is our brokenness that makes us interesting, makes us human, makes us tick. It is our brokenness that forces us to confront life and find joy where often there appears to be none. Glimpse inside their worlds. Would you survive?
