Till Morning Is Nigh: A Wortham Family Christmas

by Leisha Kelly

Overview

It is December of 1932, just one year after the Worthams and the Hammonds lost Wilametta Hammond and Emma Graham in one terrible night. The Christmas spirit seems largely absent again this year. George Hammond has disappeared, and Julia Wortham's house is filled to overflowing with the Hammond children, several of whom are coming down with a mysterious illness. As Christmas nears, the children's homemade nativity scene takes on a life of its own, bringing comfort in the midst of uncertainty and hard times.
This heartfelt novella lets readers share Christmas with the Worthams and the Hammonds and discover the strength of faith, love, and family.

Editorial Reviews

It's December 1932, and the Worthams are doing their best to help the ten Hammond children, whose mother died a year ago. When their father, George, disappears, Mrs. Wortham decides to lift the children's spirits by carrying on with holiday decorations and festivities. This heartwarming tale will touch readers' hearts and put them in the Christmas mood. It communicates the true meaning of the season and evokes the strength and power of family love, not to mention of the enduring human spirit. Kelly's (Julia's Hope; Emma's Gift) latest historical novel has the earnest charm of an episode of The Waltons. Recommended for holiday collections. Kelly lives in Illinois.
