In case you're looking for an under-$20 holiday gift, here's an idea. Dave Zweifel of The Capital Times says it's a story full of “unpredictable twists and turns” with “a stunning ending.” A few more reader reviews were recently brought to my attention... From Mike F (via 350 Wisconsin's November newsletter): "A poignant, mysterious novel about the struggles, and miracles, of rural life, and the transformative power of simply being there for people, even when it seems senseless. Even when it seems sure to fail. A great book by a great writer!" From Susan M (also in 350 WI's newsletter): "Novels that convincingly and meaningfully explore the complexity of human interactions can be page-turners. I was in page-turner territory upon opening McCabe’s Miracles Along County Q. Not only because of the characters and the interactions between them but also the writing style, the plot, the whole thing! And I gained a new understanding of life in current-day rural Wisconsin." From Barb (on Goodreads): "This is a wonderful story about secrets, family dynamics, living in a small town, building community, forgiveness and magic. If you are looking for an uplifting read, this is your book." The book is available from your favorite online retailer, local bookstore or directly from the publisher Little Creek Press. https://lnkd.in/gf7T_nip

Title: The Joy of Giving: Why Return Gifts Are a Must for Every Celebration Introduction: Celebrations are all about creating happy memories and sharing joy with loved ones. One way to extend that joy is by giving return gifts. In our website [GIFTEVERYTIME], we explore the reasons why return gifts are a meaningful tradition and how they add value to any occasion. Section 1: Expressing Gratitude Giving a return gift is a way to show appreciation to your guests for their presence and participation. It acknowledges the effort they made to join your celebration and expresses your gratitude in a tangible form. Section 2: Creating Lasting Memories A well-chosen return gift can serve as a lasting memento of the occasion. Every time the recipient uses or looks at the gift, they are reminded of the wonderful time they had at your event. Section 3: Strengthening Relationships Return gifts can help strengthen personal and social bonds. They act as a token of goodwill and reinforce the connections between you and your guests, leaving them with a positive impression of your hospitality. Section 4: Adding a Personal Touch Personalized return gifts show that you put thought and effort into your guests' experience. Whether it’s a custom-made item or something that reflects your unique style, a personalized gift can make your Beloved feel valued and special. Conclusion: Incorporating return gifts into your celebrations is a small gesture that can have a big impact. It’s a simple yet powerful way to spread joy, show appreciation, and create cherished memories for everyone involved.
