Following in the tradition of Michael McLean, Richard Paul Evans, and Jason F. Wright comes the short, but heart warming story of the Christmas Roses. As Clark Howell finishes up another semester at college and prepares for the Christmas break, he receives a letter from his grandparents who have been dead for almost 10 years. Inside the letter he finds $2,400 and a strange request for his help to make amends for their long estrangement. Clark must summon up the courage to face his own feelings, as well as memories of his deceased mother, as he delivers the Christmas Roses.
