Not Another Christmas Carole

An illustrated holiday tale for nearly all denominations. Jasper Kat Petty has a case of Grinchitis. Most folks suffer a Scrooge-moment now and then but for Kat it's a virulent strain that has hung on for sixteen years. In high school young Petty had the dream of being a novelist tucked into one pocket and a national writing award stashed in the other. But that was before his dad died leaving the family in financial chaos. Forced to give up college and take a blue-collar job he now watches his friends start families while he struggles through a string of Caroles who love him and leave him in short order-nearly always at Christmas. Enter: Chi a comic devil who may or may not be God himself. The silver-haired eccentric with the wisecracking mouth and cockeyed view of living and loving shows Kat how to drop his prickly barriers and take one last shot at fulfilling his dreams-with of all things? Another Carole.
