Mary-Chandler Touhey Storrs's newly released "The Hurricane Christmas Trees" is a children's story about a small coastal town that was devastated by a hurricane
"The Hurricane Christmas Trees" from Christian Faith Publishing author Mary-Chandler Touhey Storrs is a story based on the true events surrounding a hurricane that destroyed buildings and trees, and everything else unfortunate enough to be in its path. In response to the calamity, the town pulls together with the help of Bough, a repurposed Christmas tree, and his friends to keep everyone safe.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Hurricane Christmas Trees": a riveting tale about Bough and his fellow Christmas trees finding the courage deep within themselves, after their town is devastated by a hurricane. "The Hurricane Christmas Trees" is the creation of published author Mary-Chandler Touhey Storrs, a writer, translator, language enthusiast, and mother from North Carolina. She attended and graduated with honors at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for her undergraduate degree in Spanish language and literature and the Italian language.
Storrs writes, "In coastal towns and communities across the nation, Christmas trees are repurposed after the holiday season into the foundations for dunes in places where the dunes have been weakened or eliminated over time by natural erosion. Dunes are essential to the maintenance and safety of coastal beaches and the communities that reside therein.
"This is the story of 'Bough' the Christmas tree. A young and ambitious tree, who is looking forward to what he believes is his only purpose: becoming a decorated Christmas tree. However, when the year of his Christmas finally arrives, a massive hurricane occurs—destroying the Christmas tree farm where Bough and his fellow Christmas trees have grown and caused destruction and sadness throughout the coastal community in which the Christmas tree farm resides. This is the story of how an entire harvest of Christmas trees, seemingly destroyed by a hurricane, realize that they have a purpose far greater than becoming decorated for Christmas and that being a "real" Christmas tree has nothing to do with garlands and lights, and everything to do with the true purpose of Christmas, and Christ's messages of sacrifice, compassion, and love."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Storrs's new book is a stirring book that tells a story about the magic of Christmas and the miracle of overcoming what seems like adversity, adapting to life's difficulties, and helping others.
This book is a fascinating narrative that shows how a devastated town overcomes the adversity of being destroyed by a hurricane by working together to save one another from future calamities.
