Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Strangers at the Door: A Christmas Story
But, despite it all, in the eyes of these two peasants who moved ever southward, there shone a light which no darkness could quench. Singularly calm and confident were they. Simple as were their garments, hardened by toil as were their hands, and bronzed as were their faces, still there was about them such a fineness of manner, gentleness of spirit, and nobility of soul, as to make all who knew them show them marked deference. They commanded re spect without seeking it. In their veins ?owed the blood of a long line of Hebrew kings.
