About this series
What life-altering surprises will make this Christmas the one Kate would never forget?
Young Kate's life had been a series of painful adjustments following the heartbreaking death of her mother. Her memories of Christmastime and its traditions brought comfort, but all that changed when Kate's father married Evie, who came with her own ideas about celebrating Christmas. Granny Grace had always been there to help carry on the sacred family traditions, but she decided to leave.
Grappling with her anger and disappointment, Kate had no idea the surprises this Christmas would bring. The unexpected visit from the mysterious and elusive Mr. Josh. The redbird's appearance just when Kate needed her. The search for a lost boy during a snowstorm. The startling discovery in Granny's barn, a discovery that would change their lives. Unexplained footprints in the snow. But the biggest surprise would come on Christmas Day with the unexpected images in the family Christmas portrait.

- The Birthday Portrait: The Family Portrait
When overwhelmed with growing up without Mama, will young Kate survive? As Kate's eleventh birthday approaches, she fears no one will remember her tradition of dressing up in her mother's heirloom wedding gown for her birthday portrait. She grieves that their handprints won't be on the back of the birthday photograph, and there'll be no special letter from her mother to go in her Book of My Life this year. Precocious Kate gets a few more life's-not-always-fair lessons as she struggles and finds the courage to ask the hard questions about life. A divinely-appointed encounter with the mysterious and elusive Mr. Josh aids in her dilemma but requires of her an innocent faith that will satisfy her deepest questions, will raise a few more, and will change her life forever. Kate's story is the story of a family—a story blending joy and sorrow, death and new life, the joys and hope that children bring, the wisdom elders offer, the value of family traditions, and the mystery of life that remains unanswered.
