Come by the Book Cellar to hear husband and wife writers Denise Kiernan and Joe D’Agnese talk about their books We Gather Together, Santa Claus and Sorceress Kringle!!!

Spanning centuries, We Gather Together is anchored amid the strife of the Civil War, and driven by the fascinating story of Sarah Josepha Hale, a widowed mother with no formal schooling who became one of the 19th century’s most influential tastemakers and who campaigned for decades to make real an annual day of thanks.

She remembers nothing of her real parents. She was abducted as an infant by a band of fairies who taught her all she knows.Human beings have been the authors of so much of her pain, but she knows in her heart that she can make them better than they are. If she can get to them when they're young enough, she can teach them wrong from right, naughty from nice. Her real name is Kris Kringle, and this is how her story begins.
