Book Description

A “poignant” collection of real letters sent to Santa Claus—a town in Indiana—from the 1930s to the twenty-first century, from both children and adults (The New York Times). For countless Christmases, children—and sometimes adults—have stuffed their dreams, wishes, and promises into envelopes. Over many decades, millions of these letters have poured into Santa Claus, Indiana. Arriving from all corners of the globe, the letters ask for toys, family reunions, snow, and help for the needy—sometimes the needy being the writers themselves. They are candid, heartfelt, and often blunt. Many children wonder how Santa gets into their chimneyless homes. One child reminds Santa that she has not hit her brothers over 1,350 times that year, and another respectfully requests two million dollars in “cold cash.” One child hopes to make his life better with a time machine, an adult woman asks for a man, and one miscreant actually threatens Santa’s reindeer! Containing more than 250 actual letters and envelopes from the naughty and nice reaching back to the 1930s, this moving book will touch hearts and bring back memories of a time in our lives when the man with a white beard and a red suit held out the hope that our wishes might come true. “Often very affecting . . . also offers an unusual window into American history.” —Library Journal “The letters . . . are alternately silly and somber, hilarious and heartfelt.” —The Weekly Standard

Josiah Beachy is a dead man. At least, that's the lie most of the people in his former Amish community have believed for the last eighteen years. He has made a lot of mistakes in his life, but his number one regret is leaving his young daughter, Bailey, behind. After he receives a letter from Indiana, he decides it's time to begin righting some of the wrongs in his life, including reconciling with his daughter. But will she ever forgive him for abandoning her? Widow Elnora Schwartz has no intentions of remarrying after losing the love of her life. But when Josiah Beachy sweeps into town with a buggy-load of regret, her heart goes out to him. But would it be wise to trust her heart to a man who has lived most of his life as defector to the Amish life she cherishes? One thing Josiah wasn't counting on is meeting Nora, a pretty widow with two young girls. As he begins to fall for her, he is torn and must decide whether he will join the Amish church again or stay Englisch - and alone. Can love...and faith...bond them together?
