Overview

When eleven-year-old Claire leaves gray, snowless Charlotte, North Carolina for her late grandparents' mountain cabin in Arkansas, she expects cocoa by the fire, cousins, and the kind of snow that makes the world feel brand-new. What she doesn't expect is the heavy silence riding in the family car or the way her mother's frown can chill a room faster than a winter gust. At the cabin, cinnamon rolls steam, uncles argue over Risk, and a blizzard knocks the power out, turning Christmas Eve into a campsite in the living room. As popcorn garlands and paper snowflakes dress the fir tree, Claire decides on the only gift she truly wants: for her mother to be happy again. That's when wonder slips in like starlight. A figure in red and gold steps softly from the hearth, less jolly myth than quiet mercy, and leaves a blessing that lingers in the crackle of logs and the hush of falling snow. By morning, the world is bright, the road home is mapped, and something in Claire's family has shifted, subtly, beautifully, toward warmth. Brimming with cozy detail, cousin chaos, and a shimmer of Christmas magic, Katie's Christmas Story is a nostalgic holiday tale about the courage to ask for the right gift and the grace that answers in its own surprising way.
