One More Gift to Give

by John Shaughnessy '77 (St. Catherine of Siena Press)

book cover photoIn this book, eight people -- a newborn child, young married couple, nurse, cab driver, detective, young boy and man dressed as Santa Claus -- are brought together by unusual circumstances on a cold Christmas morning.

“With tightly crafted storytelling, John Shaughnessy weaves a classic tale . . . of one unforgettable Christmas Day. Together [his characters] learn that ordinary acts of kindness can bring about extraordinary gifts and that those in need gain most when they give what they have. One More Gift to Give is a warm and welcome antidote for those who ponder Christmas Lost,” writes Kerry Temple, editor of Notre Dame Magazine.
