    About this ebook

    A heartbroken and headstrong 12-year old facing her first Christmas Eve without her beloved grandfather. A stolen bowl of forbidden brandy-laced hard sauce for the Christmas Pudding. A missing granddaughter. Evidence of a struggle in the bloodstained snow at the foot of the back-porch steps. A magical and mystical dream of a grandfather's return from The Other Side of the Wind. And the discovery under the Christmas tree of a solid-gold kilt pin cast in the shape of a thistle, combine to turn Christmas Eve at grandmother's house upside down and put a magical and mythical Celtic twist on the fabled tale of Santa Claus and the Night before Christmas.
