I was recovering from major surgery when I wrote first a poem, then a short story, and then the novel. At the same time, I lost my father to cancer and dedicated One Frosty Christmas to him. This book is a saga of loss, redemption, love and friendship. The song brought tears to my eyes when I typed in some of the lyrics and Hannah and Frosty’s story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do… don’t cry as much though.
