A Taste of History (A Short Story with Recipes Included)
Trey Richard isn’t happy when he finds out the “family” reunion mostly consisted of relatives he hardly knew. And to make matters worse, his great grandparents were coming.
It wasn’t that he didn’t love his great grandparents, he did, but to him, they seemed so old and fragile. . .so much so, that he feared to even hug them.
Papaw Jack had always felt a kinship toward his great-grandson, Trey. The boy reminded him a lot of himself at that age. . .perhaps that was the reason he understood why Trey kept his distance from him and his Granny. But Jack isn’t about to let another opportunity pass him by. He was going to get his great grandson’s attention.
And it all began with a story. . .and a taste of history
When Jack Langdon’s agent found him a cabin in the middle of nowhere so he could finish his fourth novel, he was all for getting away from the busy life of New York. What he needed most was time alone so he could actually get some work done.
But instead he found a storyline that could have come from one of his own novels. And it all came wrapped in a beautiful and tempting package…Sunbeam.
Some people never realize just how blessed their lives are until it’s too late.
Jesse Hoyt wasn’t one of those people. He knew exactly how blessed he was, just as he knew his blessings came in the form of his family.
From his grandparents all the way down to his youngest brother, Christmas was their favorite time of year to spend together. Every Christmas evening had played out the same for as long as Jesse could remember. The house would be filled with the soft sound of Silent Night playing on their ancient record player, the sweet fragrances of cinnamon and apples which seemed to only enhance the aroma of their Christmas dinner cooking in the oven.
Little did Jesse know that it would be this particular Christmas that would stick with him forever.
