Noel Street

Noel Street by Richard Paul Evans

It's 1975, and single mother, Elle Sheen, struggles
to survive, waiting tables at a local diner in Mistletoe, Utah.

How she ended up calling this tiny community home,

is another story for another time. Maybe it was divine

intervention, or maybe just luck. In any case, it's here where
she found kind souls willing to give her, and her son, Dylan,
a chance to start over when life seemed dire and impossible.

Now six years later, Elle still barely gets by financially,
worries constantly that her bi-racial son can endure the
slurs and prejudice he will certainly face in his lifetime,
and dreams of a better tomorrow.

When Elle meets William, a troubled Vietnam War veteran,
her attraction to him goes far beyond the physical. In William
she finds a kindred spirit, maybe because the father of her child
also served in the War, or perhaps it's his ability to find joy in
the smallest things in life.

But soon Elle learns that the man she is falling in love with,
harbors deep secrets in his soul that could destroy any
chance they have for the future.

Celebrate the last days of the season with this short, feel-good
story about the power of forgiveness from the author known as
"The King of Christmas Fiction".
