Hilarious and heartbreaking, The Holiday Seasonand its companion piece, Love at the End of the Year,are tender ruminations on the nature of family, the power of love, and a particularly complicated time of year.
In The Holiday Season, father Jeff Posey and sons Ted and Frank are still trying to figure out how to be a family three years after the death of the wife and mother who bound them together. As the holidays threaten to unearth the usual myriad of emotions and memories, fractures in their relationships begin to splinter over what should be, but never are, relatively unimportant problems...
The second novella, Love at the End of the Year, is an intoxicating tale that weighs up love in all its many forms over the course of a single, magical Alabama New Year's Eve as a series of humorous vignettes explore how relationships begin, how they end, and how insane they can make every one of us.
Here, the acclaimed author of The Typist celebrates the holidays with a duet of stories that are "quirky, humorous, smart, and sad," offering a unique view of our world that "gets to the heart of loneliness, family, and the hope of love without crying a river of false sentiment or cheer that fades with the season" ( Style Weekly).
