Sinopse

Ethel Calvert Phillips' 'Christmas Light' is a heartwarming novella that captures the spirit of the holiday season through its richly woven narrative and elegant prose. Set against the backdrop of a small town during the winter months, this poignant story delves into themes of family, love, and redemption. The literary style combines lyrical descriptions with relatable dialogue, evoking a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of early 20th-century American literature. Phillips masterfully explores the complexities of human relationships, bringing to life multidimensional characters whose arcs intertwine in ways that illuminate the true meaning of Christmas. Ethel Calvert Phillips, an accomplished writer born in the 19th century, was known for her keen insights into the human condition, often drawing from her own experiences as a woman navigating the societal expectations of her time. Her background in education and her passion for storytelling informed her ability to address profound themes within the framework of accessible narratives. 'Christmas Light' serves as a testament to her ability to blend personal reflection with universal truths, fostering a connection that resonates with readers across generations. I highly recommend 'Christmas Light' for anyone seeking a thoughtful and uplifting read that encapsulates the essence of the festive season. The novella not only entertains but also encourages introspection about the values of generosity, hope, and the importance of community. Phillips' gentle prose and relatable characters offer a timeless reminder of the warmth and magic that can be found even in the coldest of winters.

    Sequel to Love in the Revolution
    After making love, political consultant Ben Montgomery asks his lover, professional cartoonist Jamie Drexler, to go beyond mere pillow talk and tell him a story. Jamie channels his creative genius to fantasize about a life in which his future husband has been granted powerful gifts needed to challenge the forces of reaction. 
    Ben and Jamie both knew from their involvement in the 2016 presidential campaign that, when justice and grace are denied to one person, they are denied to all. Superheroes are not just part of American pop culture; they are as legitimate a form of cultural history as the gods of Ancient Greece and Rome were to those civilizations. 
    When Jamie creates a superhero who is more than mere cosplay, can Ben sustain his political job while Jamie balances the responsibilities of serving as his beloved's sidekick? Or will Jamie emerge a hero in his own mind?

    Society in the city is split between the Upper and the Lower. Elis Scott was an orphaned brat from the Lower, but managed to crawl and fight his way out with the help of a minor slum lord turned entrepreneur. Now Elis is one of Mullen's men, helping those who cannot take their problems to the authorities.
    
    
    Despite finding his feet, Elis has a secret which threatens all he's achieved. Not only is he attracted to men, something he's tried to repress for years, but he also detests his need to submit. Suppressing his desires, denying who he is, manifests in rage he struggles to control. But his self-denial is rendered pointless when he meets Lord Victor Latham.
    
    
    Having recently inherited his title after the death of his father, Latham is coerced by his estranged uncle to hire Elis to protect him from possible fortune hunters. Despite his blindness, Latham is stubborn and fiercely independent and rails against the necessity of being guarded. Yet when Elis confides his suspicions about his uncle's true motives, Latham agrees to let Elis look into the matter.
    
    
    The friction between Elis and Latham is more than their equally obstinate personalities rubbing against one another. It brings out Latham's dominant tendencies, to show Elis how it could be if he gave into his desires. However, old family secrets, outside threats, and Elis's fear of his growing feelings keep them from exploring the true extent of their attraction.
