In the Bleak Midwinter

Volume 1 in the Shooting Star Series

To Celia, it was simply the yearly Christmas concert at the private school. It was the first year in their new facility and the local media was to be on hand, so in a sense, just maybe it was going to be a special evening. But to the burned-out music teacher, it seemed no more than another night of getting dressed in her finest, only to watch 700 children do the same. However, as her elite boys’ choir sang Gesu Bambino, their pure voices perfectly on pitch, their Latin enunciation impeccable, Celia was overcome by the sound of a baby’s low cry. Feeling “strangely warmed,” she dismissed it as an emotional moment caused by the glow of lights on the regal, deep-purple velvet stage curtain. Little did she know that she was about to discover the most memorable gift of her life, and give her students the most valuable lesson they would ever learn.
