The Trip

NOTE FROM PUBLISHER: This book series is similar to a TV series or soap, in that each installment builds upon the previous installments. Therefore, the correct place to start is with Book 1. Books 1 & 2 are classic Christmas novels for general audiences of all ages. However, beginning with Book 3, a prevalent romance theme develops between two teenagers, which intensifies the further along you go. Thus, Books 3 and above might be considered PG-13, and parental guidance is suggested.

The Trip is Book #11 of the Christmas Town Series. In this installment, we see nearly all of St. Nick's relationships grow deeper and expand. He and Sally hit another major milestone in their relationship, and St. Nick takes another step forward in proving himself to be a major power player in the business world.

The Christmas Town Series is a beautiful, heartwarming, coming-of-age story of a boy who goes from being impoverished and bullied, to a young man who becomes a celebrated town hero and business prodigy. His heart is always in the right place, and he does everything for the right reasons.

We follow the main character's life journey, as he navigates serious real-world challenges. The Christmas Town Series is not only a year-round celebration of Christmas, but it is a character study in compassion, decency, and integrity. It is about young people taking responsibility for their own actions and for the future of their community. It is also about the very deep and meaningful relationships which develop between our main character and various adults who surround him.

Books 1 and 2 of the series are for 'General Audiences' of all ages. Beginning with Book 3, our main character is well into adolescence, and as such, there is a teen romance theme to the storyline. As the installments and romance storyline progresses, there are scenes of implied intimacy. Books 3 and above might be classified as "PG-13," and parental guidance is suggested. With that said, many readers will find that the teen romance exhibits a positive and loving example of a healthy and responsible relationship. However, those offended by teen relationships might find some of the content objectionable.

The Christmas Town Series comes to us from the same author who brought us the epic 40+ book series, Living A Meaningful Life, which is perhaps the largest family saga series written in recent history. The Christmas Town Series is designed to eventually reach the same status.
