The Last Christmas Card (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798822911901)

In the small town of Council Grove, Kansas, two boys and a wise old man learn through mystery, danger, and heartfelt moments that age-old traditions can fade but true friendships endure the test of time.

In the summer of 1961, Robert "Bob" Harrison met Paul O'Brady the day he moved into his new home. Bob's father had just relocated the family from Austin, Texas to pursue an opportunity at McConnell Air Force Base working on B-52 bombers.

Becoming fast friends, Bob and Paul begin to do everything together. From junior high to high school, they plan outdoor excursions, Boy Scout trips, and adventures even The Hardy Boys would envy.

Weekending in the quaint village of Council Grove, Kansas, the two pals break the rules and learn important life lessons. After meeting Hans, the boys form a kinship with the wise old Swede while doting over a historic piano.

From adolescent days bunking in an 1860s limestone house and driving a 1941 Willys pickup truck to the perils of military service, The Last Christmas Card chronicles the love, trust, and faithfulness of three pals going totally different directions in life, with their ultimate goal being to reunite. As the two youngest men mature and enter new chapters of their life, a never-before-opened Hallmark Christmas card with a powerful message inside serves as a catalyst for bittersweet reflection.

The Last Christmas Card is an enjoyable read for many enthusiasts, from lovers of Hallmark movies, to holiday fiction book readers, to readers who enjoy family closeness and books about friendship.
