A gift of angels : a Christmas story / by Jerry Bledsoe.
The sequel replays the heart of the earlier book: set in the 50s in Thomasville, North Carolina. We hear about North Carolinian Mutt Burton, who was 58 when Bledsoe, a cub reporter, met him at 26. Burton, a gifted photographer and regional actor (he played W.O. Gant in Look Homeward, Angel), celebrated all 12 tingling days of Christmas. He had Christmas in his bones. Mutt's death, and writing The Angel Doll, prompts Bledsoe to seek out the lost Whitey. Long after, he learns that Whitey died a hero in Vietnam. The rest of the story tells of Whitey's life, which is ten times more moving than The Angel Doll and may sell well past Christmas.
