About Christmas Angel (Unabridged)

Christmas Angel is a collection of memories of three events in the life of a retired surgeon, a man who is self-admittedly not perfect and who has not always been religious. A grumpy sort of a fellow who blames his personality defects on his genetics, as do most of us who are well-educated enough to appreciate the value using DNA as an alibi. The time course of the works begins in his senior year in high school and ends just after his retirement from the practice of medicine. He chronicles three separate meetings with his Christmas Angel , occurrences that led to positive outcomes, to his choice of a career as a doctor, to his improved relationship with his family and the world around him, and to his response to a potentially fatal disease. In addition to the short stories, he does include three of his unpublished poems but on the up side, he does show a proper reverence for Bob Dylan’s work. They offset. And that is only fair.
