A Christmas Story You Can Reread Every Year

COAL is a different kind of redemption story. Jazz is a kid who just wants to live a normal life, but tragedy intervenes and his life spirals out of control. Mixing elements of It’s A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, COAL shows that real life-changing events aren’t like they appear in the movies. This book is full of surprises. Bad things do indeed happen to good people, but redemption is available for anyone willing to receive it. A beautiful story that you can reread every Christmas.
