Christmas Presence: from 45 western North Carolina women writers Editors: Celia H. Miles and Nancy Dillingham Christmas is a special time, an intense season when emotions are heightened, memories are made, hearts are warmed or broken, illusions blanketed or shattered. Christmas Presence is written in the unique voices of women who have roots in and connections to western North Carolina. These Christmas stories, reflections, poems, and memoirs, many set in the 20's, 30's, 40' and before, add seasoning to the cultural landscape of a region already rich in custom and lore.  ISBN: 978-1-59712-259-7 Price: $18.00 Publisher: Catawba Publishing  (published in September 08)
