27 reading days until Christmas and have we got a treat for you! Marianne Sciucco has a wonderful short for us today, Ino’s Love. It is a story of a mother’s uncondtional love and exemplifies I Corinthians chapter 13.
Marianne, share with us why you chose to write a Christmas story.
Christmas is a special time for me, a time to celebrate all that is good about the human heart, the human spirit. It’s all about the birth of Christ, who came to us to teach us how to be close to God and live together peacefully. But we seem to have lost our way where Christmas is concerned. For too many, December 25th is just an excuse for a commercial free-for-all. Don’t get me wrong, gifts are a wonderful thing, but sometimes we’re so wrapped up in the trimmings of the holiday we forget about the people at the center of it: our family and our loved ones. I wrote Ino’s Love to demonstrate the spirit of Christmas, of putting people first, of caring for and loving others even when they’re not family. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Ino’s Love is the perfect length to enjoy while waiting on an appointment or in the school pick up line.
Available as a Kindle book for $.99, and free on Kindle Unlimited.
Also in audiobook on Amazon for $3.46, on Audible and iTunes for $3.95.
The Blurb
Elderly Ino awaits a visit from her loving but absent son to celebrate Christmas, preparing his favorite meal in spite of her health concerns and disabilities. When he disappoints her she shares his gifts and dinner with her devoted and trustworthy home health aide Ruby. Sometimes the people who love us best are not family.
