A Redbird Christmas
by Fannie Flagg
What a charming story! I thought it was timely that I would finish it at this time when President elect Obama is encouraging helping others and your community.
Oswald has emphysema and lives in Chicago. After years of treatment the doctor gives him only a few months to live and encourages him to to go a little place in Alabama to get away from the winter cold. After calling a place on a brochure and finding out the place does not exist he is offered a room in a home in Lost River, Alabama. In a town of 108 people he develops new talents such as fishing and painting and makes lots of new friends including a young crippled girl named Patsy and a pesky injured Redbird named Jack.
It is a delightful story and very uplifting.

This was my favorite holiday read in Dec 2007. It is such a great story to read. I am glad you enjoyed as much as I.
