Last month I was given permission to announce that my 2016 book A Family Under the Christmas Tree, published by Howard Books, was being made into a Hallmark movie. I'm so excited!I was able to spend a day on the set! It was a fascinating and exciting experience. I will post pictures when it gets closer to the release day, which I don't have yet, but when I do I will share!
There was a write up in Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming Christmas movies that Hallmark is making this year and they mentioned A Family Under the Christmas Tree, starring Merritt Patterson and John Cor.

I think God knew I would need a sweet story to help me through my grief and I dedicated this book to my mother, Dorothy Louise.
As Mother's Day approaches I am missing her so much and wish I could share this joy with her.

Can they get off the mountain alive?
Desperate to find her missing teenage brother, Maya Gallo ventures into the Colorado Rockies expecting rough terrain—not deadly treasure hunters. But when she’s caught in their crosshairs, ruggedly handsome mounted patrolman Alex Trevino comes to her aid. The deputy sheriff knows what these bandits are capable of, so getting Maya—and her brother—home safely may be his hardest mission yet

Terri, congratulations on your upcoming movie. That's amazing. I'm so sorry about your mother's passing, but what a beautiful story. I'm glad you got to speak with her one last time. It's a precious memory.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. It is a precious memory and I’m thankful.
DeleteTerri, I know your Mom is "seeing" you from Heaven. She's so proud of who you are and how your stories touch so many. I'm thankful for our faith that knows death is not the end but the beginning of Eternal Life and that we will be reunited with loved ones again. My mother died at 58, much too young.
