Humorless, dutiful, and efficient, Nurse Constance Chamberlain doesn't like Christmas. For her, the holiday is overdone and excessive--a meaningless distraction. She is at home in the stark, white, antiseptic environment of a hospital, not in a living room with a cozy fire and fragrant Christmas tree. But when she is assigned to provide home care for an elderly gentleman over the holidays, she is drawn into a life-changing experience.
John, her eccentric patient, has the gall to say that the "forgotten carols" he sings with so much feeling, he learned from those who were present at the time of Jesus' birth. Is John some kind of scam artist? Or is he deluded? It's hard to know. Constance has never met anyone so loving and kind, and falling under his influence, she almost believes his story.
In this heartwarming holiday tale, song writer and author Michael McLean introduces two unforgettable characters: a teacher of love and an unwilling student.
The Forgotten Carols is a rare and precious book--one that illuminates the truths and spirit of Christmas while adding eight new carols to the world's collection of beautiful Christmas music.
