Official synopsis Publisher
Will the Lees celebrate Christmas?
Everyone else in their small town in West Virginia is getting ready for Christmas, but Joan’s parents won’t let her and her siblings celebrate: Christmas is not Chinese. Then their father finally promises they can go to a neighbor’s Christmas party, but only if none of them misbehaves at all in the weeks before the holiday. If only he was as generous as Joan’s friend Victoria’s father!
Continuing the story of the Lees begun in The Star Fisher, Dream Soul is a touching story of love, loyalty, and the importance of family.
