What People Are Saying about The Christmas House

“I remember the Skinners' Christmas House as a tradition when my family lived nearby and I was at school with Georja. This book is a charming memoir of ordinary people doing extraordinary things at a time when making dreams come true was what our country was all about.”
Stefanie Powers, actress and conservationist

“The Christmas House is a moving story of one family’s determination to share the spirit of Christmas with the entire world, despite nearly insurmountable odds. This is a Christmas story that will inspire everyone who reads it!” John Saul, New York Times bestselling author of 38 novels, including Midnight Voices

“It is my pleasure and duty to suggest to you that The Christmas House is as large a story as that told of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s fight to be cured of a seemingly unbeatable disease. This is a story of yet another human being, George Skinner, of great courage and caring whose net life product impacted so many of a generation that changed the world. Thank you for adding your father’s life to the annals of history. In this time of false heroes, we must be reminded that there are true heroes in our midst and they are often silent, yet they have gifts to offer humanity.” Kenneth R. Harris Sr., director of Roosevelt Warm Springs Development Fund, Inc.
