Sobre IBD

During the season of good cheer between Christmas and Epiphany, erstwhile professor Butch Regent becomes increasingly burdened by lack of money and failing spirits. His dream of turning his dilapidated former sanatorium/monastery into an artists’ retreat seems out of reach. Nurse, Scap, Sister Julia, and Jane from A Franklin Manor Christmas are joined by a free-lance writer with a prodigious memory. Together they keep Regent from despair. Liam, the long-dead altar boy, makes a timely return visit, and the mysterious bell that rang on Christmas Eve now sounds its benison from the collar of a cat who becomes invisible when approached. On Epiphany Day, Professor Regent’s grumpy skepticism gives way to grudging acceptance of the transcendental, and the possibility of the artists’ colony is revived. It’s a deep-snow, feel-good adventure in the tradition of Miracle on Fifth Avenue and The Bishop’s Wife. 106 pages
