Finding December: Christmas Tales


A collection of four holiday stories that carry the reader to new places in search of a perfect December.

In "Finding December," a lonely traveler in a strange and foreign city discovers a bit of humanity; in "To Love Everyone," a cantankerous man tries to find an argument at the local church, but discovers a greater narrative at play; a young boy discovers that even great people are humans too in "A Command Performance"; and "Tupperware and a Christmas Star" finds Joseph on Mary's doorstep for a first Christmas date.

Aeden's Wake

Mecca's Lithograph

Brent is represented by Elizabeth Kracht of Kimberley Cameron & Associates.

Aeden's Wake is a literary novel with a touch of the supernatural.

If Rhoda Camael gave you the chance to ask, you might wonder about the eighteen months she spent in darkness, about the shades of black she found. When she finally opens her eyes she is, of course, given the facts – that her father and little brother were murdered and she was raped and left for dead in the living room of the family home. Devon Eli, the man who committed those terrible crimes, is fading away in prison, having surprised everyone with a quiet guilty plea. When Rhoda tries to return to her ordered, private ways, she is unprepared for how she will be treated by others or the expectations they have for how she should be grieving. Nor can she anticipate that, even from his tiny prison cell, Eli will reach out to her – she will face sunlight and shadows, and a moment of choice that can only happen in a place like Aeden’s Wake.
