Book description
'He feels restless; sad that the tiny, sparkling lights and the
pretty tree will no longer be there to brighten the short, dark
winter days.'
It's just after Christmas, and four-year-old Jakey is helping to put
away the decorations. He hates seeing them disappear back into their
boxes, especially the big, homemade angel, which has put in an
appearance at family Christmases for many years. Jakey calls her
Auntie Gabriel, and she holds a big red satin heart. But things are
going to be different for Jakey this year. The Cornish home which he
has known all his life is in danger of being sold up, and everything
is changing.
Will this close-knit unit who have come to depend on each other
still be together next Christmas? And what will they have learnt about
having somewhere you truly belong?
Marcia Willett's early life was devoted to the ballet, but her
dreams of becoming a ballerina ended when she grew out of the
classical proportions required. She had always loved books, and a
family crisis made her take up a new career as a novelist - a decision
she has never regretted. She lives in a beautiful, wild part of Devon
where she loves to be visited by her son and his young family.
