The Patient Gift
A Short Story in the Christmas Wishes anthology, Highland Press 2006

Christmas looms, but Lea Novak sees only the trappings—decorations, cards, gifts—and she's not having anything to do with any of it. Lonely and feeling abandoned, her life consists of going to work and returning to the safety of her home and Basil, her beloved black lab, her only companion. A blizzard brings not only snow to her front door. It whisks in a tall, handsome stranger whose life has taught him the importance of patience. Lea is forced to confront the tragic circumstances of her life by offering and receiving compassion. All the while, unseen forces are working to bring happiness back into Lea's life. If only she will listen.

Christmas Wishes features 12 Stories from 12 Authors, ranging from very old-fashioned Christmases to more modern tales of love, romance and holiday wishes. The power to believe can work miracles—wishes can come true...love heals hearts. The first in a two book set with 12 more stories in Holiday in the Heart.
