About this ebook

Young Truman Capote thought life in New York City was going to be perfect, but things didn’t work out as planned. In fact, Tru is downright miserable. So he decides to run away to Monroeville, Alabama, and the only friend he’s ever had, Nelle Harper Lee. But things don't go well there, either. Bad things seem to happen wherever he goes. The only explanation: he must be cursed.

Christmas is coming, and Tru’s only wish is to be happy. But it’ll take a miracle for that to come true. Luckily, a special feast brings the miracle he's hoping for. Tru and Nelle: A Christmas Tale is based on the real life friendship of Truman Capote and Harper Lee.

    Truman returns to Monroeville to stay with relatives over Christmas after running away from military school. Nelle and Big Boy are there to welcome him. But is Truman cursed? Jenny's house burns down, Boss Henderson the bully takes his Christmas tree, and two innocent black men are likely to hang by a mob. Appealing in its southern small-town ambience (except for the whole Klan and race relations thing).
