From Greg Garrett, the acclaimed author of Free Bird, Shame, and The Prodigal, comes a prize-winning Christmas story of love, loss, and hope. The holidays are always hard--especially for families that still fight their ancient battles every Christmas. This year, Tom is determined not to let his divorced parents ruin his visits by their hatred for each other. His parents, though, might have different plans. Will Tom survive the holidays? Will he find the courage to make some plans for the future? Or will this Christmas find him as beaten down by his parents' battles as every previous one? Minuet tells an all-too-familiar holiday story about how we negotiate the land mines of our families in hopes of finding some safe place where we can live and love. Minuet won the Pirate's Alley William Faulkner Prize for Fiction.
