Christmas in the Bluegrass: Hometown Holiday Stories

Christmas is a time for memories and celebration, yet it's also ripe with emotion, drama … and revelation.

Midway native Bob Rouse's collection of ten holiday stories pulls at the holiday heartstrings — and taps on the funny bone — of any reader who ever experienced the warmth, the sadness, or the insanity of Christmas.

Bob's tales are told through different eyes and in different decades, but each one speaks to a hope — or a hope-not — of a small-town Christmas in the Bluegrass.
