Further tales from Windflower’s Newfoundland!
Christmas in Newfoundland 3: Sgt. Windflower Holiday Tales by Mike Martin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another amazing group of joyful and thoughtful Sg. Windflower Christmas stories from Mike Martin.
Whether it’s the secret and focused yearnings of his older daughter Stella who has re discovered her ability to skate (I felt her sadness and love when she dreams of her dead mother skating with her); or Christmas at Grand Bank looking after the families who are currently pushed to the edge, it is all so uplifting.
Windflower’s smoking ceremony to connect him to his ancestors, his dreams, and his use of the pipe left to him by his Auntie Marie of course play a part.
We go back to his Cree boyhood in Pink Lake, Alberta. Windflower remembers. He is appreciative of his beginnings and where he is now. A ray of sunshine on his cheek is like a benediction from his crossed over grandfather.
So many stories, so much love to be read and enjoyed!
The cover deserves a special mention—whimsical, joyous and colorful—a tribute to this time of year.
