My thoughts:

This is a fun, varied collection of holiday stories, and a great way to kick off the holiday season! This book is a collection of short stories, of different genres from different authors, but with a prevailing holiday theme.

Each of the stories is only a few pages long, but they pack a lot of heart (and holiday spirit) in each of the stories. My one complaint is that I really wanted many of them to continue! I would love for several of them to be rewritten into full-length books!

Into the Woods is the title and theme for this assortment of short stories, poems, essays, music, and one walking meditation. Each piece is unique in tone and genre and the result is that the collection captures the fascinating, frightening, fun, healing, and fantastical wonder of time spent in the woods. The twenty-six contributors who attend Mindful Writers Retreats in the mountains of Ligonier, Pennsylvania, are donating one hundred percent of the proceeds to support the research and work of The Children’s Heart Foundation.
