“The Christmas Robe” from Songbird and Other Stories by Jennifer Lamont Leo
Description
A department store clerk comes up with a scheme to snag a luxurious boudoir robe for herself after Christmas. But the cost may be too high.
My Thoughts
This short Roaring Twenties tale is my favorite from a collection called Songbird and Other Stories.
The Christmas story is humorous, clever, and touching, and it got some chuckles out of me before it made me teary-eyed. Not to mention that I found the collection as a whole to be entertaining and uplifting.
If you go for these quick reads, you’ll likely want to continue on to this author’s Roaring Twenties novels.
