About this listen
Christmas Town is a modern story of a socially awkward and disadvantaged tween boy who is ordinary in most every way, except for one major difference. This particular boy decides to take one simple action to help somebody; and his good deed ends up changing the entire town in the most epic ways.
Christmas Town is a story that can happen in any town. It is a story of what happens when the best of humanity comes out of at least one person who is willing to try. It is a story that will pull at your heartstrings, make you laugh, and make you cry. It is a story that will leave you a changed person, and show you that the ‘Magic of Christmas’ is within all of us.
Christmas Town is a story of inspiration, hope, and triumph; all under the most difficult of circumstances. It is a coming-of-age story; and it is a story that makes us question our own possibilities, and empowers us to become something greater.
Christmas Town is the first of a new series; and is brought to us by the author of the Living A Meaningful Life series, which is one of the largest family saga series ever written (and growing). As with the Living A Meaningful Life series, Christmas Town is perfect listening for adults and teens of all ages. The themes are wholesome, positive, and provide inspiration for adults, as well as being an excellent influence on teens.
Christmas Town contains the very essence of what ‘the magic of Christmas’ is all about. Most importantly, Christmas Town shows us the way forward to a better life during such difficult times. It will surely become a modern classic.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 124
Leigh Beth Stilton has never liked the holidays. After growing up in an unstable home, escaping an abusive marriage, and witnessing daily tragedies as an EMT, Leigh just can’t bring herself to care about Christmas cheer. In fact, she’s so convinced she’s not worth loving that one winter’s eve, she decides she can’t go on—until she comes across a book called Bethel and starts to read. Leigh is unfamiliar with the author, J.D. Harper, but his words speak directly to her. She’s never felt so seen and understood, and this connection gives her the strength to carry on.

Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali. Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret. Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe. Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be.

Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life, does not appeal.

The year is 1901, and the hustle and bustle of the holidays is descending on New York's Fifth Avenue. For the first time in her privileged life, Adelaide Forsythe couldn’t be happier about the prospect of a quiet Christmas. That’s not to say her transition from Missto Mrs. has been without challenge. Though she doesn’t regret marrying for love instead of wealth, she feels woefully unprepared to run her own household. Then, on the first Sunday of Advent, winter winds bring surprising change, first through a young orphan boy and then a seasoned housekeeper who seems too good to be true.

Barrel racer Jordyn Banks is thrilled to discover affordable land for sale in charming Noel, perfect for breeding her horses. But that’s not all. A nomad with no family—other than her beloved quarter horse, Star—she also hopes to find a home within the close-knit Appalachian Mountain community. Yet Jordyn didn’t bargain on inheriting a controversial Fraser fir—or falling for a handsome single dad whose adorable little girl tempts her to dream of being far more than a property owner.

When the Chambers sisters receive an invitation from their jet-setting aunt to spend the entire month of December at the family's cabin in Asheville, North Carolina, they have one question—why? The retreat, tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, may be the site of many happy childhood holidays and summers, but it also holds sad memories. The sisters and their aunt have spent twenty-five years avoiding the cabin and renting it to strangers. Why would Aunt Elizabeth want her "dearest darling" nieces to put their busy lives in three different states on hold and spend a month in the mountains?

In 1860 the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow family celebrated Christmas at Craigie House, their home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The publication of Longfellow's classic Revolutionary War poem, "Paul Revere's Ride", was less than a month hence, and the country's grave political unrest weighed heavily on his mind. Yet with his beloved wife, Fanny, and their five adored children at his side, the delights of the season prevailed.

Fantastic storytelling mixed with Christmas Spirit
There’s nothing more beautiful, humbling, and heartwarming than Brian Hunter’s stories. The characters are always genuine, deeply caring, and can certainly teach us a thing or two about being a good human and friend. “Christmas Town” is no exception, but in addition to Hunter’s fantastic storytelling he’s added a hint of the Christmas spirit.
“Christmas Town” holds a small town, a struggling economy, and a kid with nearly nothing to his name but his word. What starts as a project to help his friend’s struggling family store turns into something the whole town can be excited about. Piece by piece this story comes together until even Hallmark can’t top the genuine spirit you’ll feel.
In classic Brian Hunter fashion, he once again leaves out the name of his main character, something that can only be intentional as he gives readers the opportunity to slot themselves into his kind acts and service. Whether befriending bullies, caring about the world around you, or speaking from the heart, this story warms from the inside out as the most wonderful time of the year quickly approaches.
Hunter begins with a sixth grader, some free time after school, and a simple vision and turns it into a beautiful new series. Once again teaching readers to see the good in people, the kindness in the world, and the impacts of our decisions. With a can of paint, a bit of hard work, and a beautiful soul, “Christmas Town” will warm even the prickliest of Grinches.
