I'd understand if you answer no, I didn't believe in them either.
Imagine braving a fierce winter storm just to get some last-minute Christmas shopping done. That’s exactly what Maggie and her husband decide to do in J Hirtle's touching story, 'Never A Stranger'. Originally published in 'Whisper Dancing', this tale captures the spirit of the season with a mix of warmth and heartbreak. Maggie, a character defined by her kindness, makes a stop to help a homeless woman, gifting her a small ceramic angel.
It’s a simple act of generosity that embodies the true essence of Christmas. But as life often goes, things take an unexpected turn. On their way back home, a truck crashes into their car, leaving Maggie with severe injuries. The story doesn’t shy away from the raw emotions of loss and grief that follow such a tragedy. Yet, through Hirtle's masterful storytelling, there’s also a thread of hope and compassion that weaves through the narrative.
This episode is more than just a Christmas story; it’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s always a glimmer of light waiting to be found. Perfect for anyone looking for a tale that combines the magic of the holidays with the resilience of the human spirit.
