I have learned from those who have read my stories that books can heal, and characters like Mary Anne Parkin, though fictitious, can provide warmth and companionship.These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community. The inspiration, which began with The Christmas Box, is continued with Timepiece, the story of David and Mary Anne Parkin, in which we learn where the Christmas box and the angel statue had come from and the powerful lessons of hope the couple learned from their little girl, Andrea. I never imagined that what began as a tale for two little girls would spread to millions throughout the world. In the next four weeks those twenty copies were shared from family to family, and friend to friend. I completed the book in less than six weeks and, when I had finished, I produced twenty copies to give as Christmas presents to my family and friends. In writing The Christmas Box, I hoped that at some future time they could read this book and know of their father’s love.Īs I began to write, I was amazed at the inspiration which flowed into my mind and heart. Though I often told them that I loved them, I didn’t believe that they could ever really understand the depth of those feelings until they had experienced the joy of rearing their own children, and by that time our relationship would have already changed. When I wrote The Christmas Box, I never intended to publish the story-it was simply an expression of love for my two young daughters, Jenna and Allyson. Written by the author as a token of affection for his daughters, The Christmas Box has captured the hearts and minds of over a million readers.”. “This inspiring holiday tale tells the touching story of a widow and the young family who moves in with her, and the ways in which they discover together the first gift of Christmas and what the holiday is really all about. In a season often shrouded in selfishness and materialism, Evans reminds the reader that the only way that we can genuinely love one another is by accepting the greatest gift of love ever given–that of a Father who “so loved His children that He sent His son, that we might someday return to Him.” – Jill Heatherly, Review “.This tiny treasure will cause you to rejoice in the blessings of the season while stirring up a childlike vigor as old profundity is revealed anew. “Speaking directly to parents who have lost children, this bestseller also crystallizes a national yearning for family in these fragmented times.” – USA Today
“THE CHRISTMAS BOX has touched something in people who must deal with the loss of a child.” – The Washington Post “The true miracle of The Christmas Box is in the thousands of spirits it has lifted and the hearts it has healed.” – Mary Higgins Clark “The most popular holiday tale since Tiny Tim.” – Newsweek
