The Silver Flyer by Lawrence Anderson Armstrong Pdf
In the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-eight, a time which will never come again, in a country which will never exist again, a miracle took place... so begins THE SILVER FLYER, A CHARLESTON CHRISTMAS STORY. Lawrence Anderson Armstrong has created a masterful work in which harsh reality and the quirky effervescence of fate intertwine the lives two boys, their absent father and the spirit of Christmas. The beautiful old city of Charleston, South Carolina, where Lawrence Anderson Armstrong was born and grew-up, provides a Dickensian atmosphere as the story moves through the city on Christmas Eve. The characters Jack and Harry are vividly drawn. They seem to have stepped off the pages of a Damon Runyon story as tough guys with hearts of gold. Old Simon Brewer and Joe Sams add the grace and wisdom of the ages seeing life from the downward curve. Axel Caine is the vicious, heartless villain that keeps the reader wondering what will happen next. If you loved IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, and THE MIRACLE AT MOREAU, then THE SILVER FLYER is a must have book to capture the spirit of Christmas.

A Charleston Christmas Storybook by Bruce Smith Pdf
"A Charleston Christmas Storybook" is a charming collection of family tales set in Charleston, South Carolina celebrating the most joyous time of year in in America's most beautiful city. Journalist and writer Bruce Smith covered Charleston for more than three decades for The Associated Press, the world's largest news organization. His news stories, photos and video of Charleston have appeared across South Carolina, throughout the nation and around the world. His family Christmas tales have been called "A Lowcountry Yuletide Tradition" by The Post and Courier and "An offbeat celebration of Charleston at Christmas - enjoyable and imaginative" by The State of Columbia.The Christmas tales capture the magic of the season in this timeless city of pastel buildings, bluestone sidewalks and quaint sheltered gardens. Each story is illustrated with photo artwork showing the setting. One of the world's most popular tourist destinations, Charleston captures the hearts of all who visit just as it has captured the hearts of those lucky enough to call the historic city home."A Charleston Christmas Storybook" includes the tale of the rather stuffy British mice who visit their Charleston cousins and are treated to a trip to the steeple in "The Bells of Saint Michael's" "Magnolia" is a carriage horse who will only pull her carriage without a driver and with a carriage load of children. "Lights in the Palms" tells how residents of the nearby Isle of Palms debate whether the trees lining Palm Boulevard should be decorated for the season with sophisticated and stylish small white lights or large, somewhat gaudy colored lights loved by children everywhere. They must decide what is best for the "character and integrity of this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this Isle of Palms."In "Teresa and Prioleau," another story about small rodents, Teresa and her family of mice travel from the wonderful cathedral on the north side of the street to visit their snobby, self-absorbed cousins thrice removed who live South of Broad. Here they have an encounter with Pouncer the Cat. "The Burghers of Boughburg" also have to deal with a cat after Fur Feet comes to visit their Christmas village in what is the greatest crisis to hit Boughburg since the "Blizzard of Brown Needles" when the tree started shedding long before Christmas and "The Great Flood" when the preschool denizens of the house spilled water on the village while filling the tree stand. Rabscalpin, still another cat, hits on an ill-thought-out scheme to free all the residents of the South Carolina Aquarium in "The Great Escape." In "The Colonial Lake Light Caper" two young boys learn that pinching the red bulb from a wooden Rudolph in a house fronting on Colonial Lake really isn't keeping in the spirit of the season.These and other tales capture the magic of a Charleston Christmas and the volume is perfect as a gift or as a holiday keepsake. The tales are suitable for all ages with stories youngsters will cherish and wry humor that older readers will enjoy as they share the tales. As The Beaufort Gazette put it: "Smith is building on his reputation as a Southern storyteller."

The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street by Karen White Pdf
The Christmas spirit is overtaking Tradd Street with a vengeance in this festive new novel in the New York Times bestselling series by Karen White. Melanie Trenholm should be anticipating Christmas with nothing but joy--after all, it's the first Christmas she and her husband, Jack, will celebrate with their twin babies. But the ongoing excavation of the centuries-old cistern in the garden of her historic Tradd Street home has been a huge millstone, both financially and aesthetically. Local students are thrilled by the possibility of unearthing more Colonial-era artifacts at the cistern, but Melanie is concerned by the ghosts connected to the cistern that have suddenly invaded her life and her house--and at least one of them is definitely not filled with holiday cheer.... And these relics aren't the only precious artifacts for which people are searching. A past adversary is convinced that there is a long-lost Revolutionary War treasure buried somewhere on the property that Melanie inherited--untold riches rumored to be brought over from France by the Marquis de Lafayette himself and intended to help the Colonial war effort. It's a treasure literally fit for a king, and there have been whispers throughout history that many have already killed--and died--for it. And now someone will stop at nothing to possess it--even if it means destroying everything Melanie holds dear.

How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix Pdf
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Wildly entertaining."-The New York Times "Ingenious."-The Washington Post New York Times bestselling author Grady Hendrix takes on the haunted house in a thrilling new novel that explores the way your past—and your family—can haunt you like nothing else. When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world. Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. Unfortunately, she’ll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it’ll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market. But some houses don’t want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them… Like his novels The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires and The Final Girl Support Group, How to Sell a Haunted House is classic Hendrix: equal parts heartfelt and terrifying—a gripping new read from “the horror master” (USA Today).

Councilwoman Hilda Jefferson by Charles Dennis Troiani Pdf
As a Charleston city councilwoman and in so many of her other roles, Mrs. Hilda Jefferson dedicated her life to serving and sacrifice. She touched many lives during her time, including that of author Chuck Trioani. Now he shares his memories of her and describes how she inspired him and changed his life for the better, as she did for so many others. As a black teacher in the 1970s, Mrs. Jefferson was forced to overcome many obstacles characteristic of the time, including racism and the difficult process of integration. Even so, her love for her students-and later, her constituents-allowed her to surmount any adversity. She organized the yearly City of Charleston Christmas Party and presided over the ceremonies in true Mrs. Claus fashion, raising thousands of dollars to buy bicycles for the city's children. Her life was certainly one of hardship and reward, and her passion for serving others has been apparent in both her public and personal lives. Through personal recollection and fond remembrance, Troiani examines the extraordinary life of his friend and neighbor, Hilda Jefferson, a quiet hero who had a profoundly positive and lasting impact on so many lives.
