{"product_id":"christmas-eve-on-the-childrens-unit-9781977220486","title":"Christmas Eve on the Children's Unit","description":"This suspenseful, touching, quirky little tale of Christmas is a fast-moving, frequently shocking, account of a children's crisis hospital on one Christmas Eve. This one night of the year has a mysterious power, from millennia of pre-Christian harvest festivals and ancestor worship, when ghosts walked and admonished us to love our neighbor and give to those who suffer most in a time of plenty. Adopted by Christianity, but celebrated by all, this is a time embraced by family, to feel safe and loved, especially for children and teenagers. The children's crisis unit and its staff provide a safety net for abused, neglected, and traumatized children and teens. This little novella is a modern look at these issues, at some children's harsh reality, directly confronting the age-old question of \" if God is good, why are bad things allowed to happen\", on a night when the whole world seems warm and fuzzy, except for some unlucky children and teens, who need the Children's Unit and staff, and the healing power of Christmas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977220486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.00w x 0.36d","brand":"W.
