The Story behind the Book: Christmas at the Mission (Sula)
Christmas at the Mission came after other Sula books were written, the first being Surviving Cancer, Healing People, which won a Literary Titan gold award. The first Sula story was told in Guideposts Magazine (and repeated two years later as the lead Christmas story in All God's Creatures Magazine) as the lead story in the Christmas 2015 issue. So, it seemed a natural that one of the books in what become a 7-book series should be a book about Christmas. Not only did Sula photogenically place herself in just the right Christmas spots (the local newspaper got some of those shots, too), but it became clear that not all parishioners were familiar with all the concepts associated with the Catholic observation of Christmas. Sula's books have always tried to strike a balance between informing and entertaining.

(And yes, we know the timing is a bit odd -- Christmas as four months ago and eight months in the future, but we are presenting the back stories alphabetically and will pop it up again Christmas 2023.)
