The Christmas Box Collection : The Christmas Box Timepiece The Letter
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
"Whatever the reason, I find that with each passing Christmas the story of the Christmas box is told less and needed more. So I record it now for all future generations to accept or dismiss as seems to them good. As for me, I believe." So begins the sentimental tale of romance and family that Richard Paul Evans went to a copy shop and self-published a few years back. Readers decidedly accepted the saga, spending millions of dollars and clamoring for more, so Evans wrote two more heart-rending episodes, Timepiece and The Letter. (The original's megasuccess sparked a TV movie and inspired a parody, Revenge of the Christmas Box.)
At last, all three are collected in one of the most popular holiday-themed tearjerkers since Dickens. Can David Parkin, a hard-working man, learn from a cache of old love letters that there's more to life than work--such as his relationship with his wife, MaryAnne? What becomes of the Parkins' angelic daughter, Andrea? When a bent and bereft old lady is spotted crouching over a snowy grave, and the night watchman tells her the cemetery is closed, what can it mean that she mysteriously disappears, leaving behind one red rose and a letter? Could it have something to do with calamitous family tragedy, with David's mother and the key to healing his hardened heart?
It sure could. Scrooge-like critics did not swoon over Evans's trilogy, but they are quite outnumbered by fans. Evans made millions of readers feel touched, as if by an angel.
Review
Orlando Sun Sentinel
The book's timeless message is appropriate for any season....The Christmas Box is an artful blend of fiction and inspirational writing. It is a memorable tale whose universal message will not fade with the season.
The Star (Chicago)
Richard Paul Evans is a good writer. His style is crisp and uncluttered.
The Daily Sun
A sweet and tender love story...The Letter should satisfy Evans' many fans and find him new ones too....On one of these cold winter nights find a comfortable place and settle down and read The Letter....When it is over you will feel warmed and enriched by the story you have shared.
