Summary "The Romance of a Christmas Card" by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin is a sentimental novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a quaint New England village during the Christmas season, the book explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the magic of the holiday spirit through the intertwined lives of its characters. The narrative primarily revolves around the relationships and emotional histories of villagers, particularly focusing on the hopes and trials during the festive period. The story follows Letty Boynton, a devoted but lonely guardian of her twin nephews, as she navigates her feelings of abandonment and unfulfilled dreams. Parallel to her struggles, the minister's wife, Reba Larrabee, yearns for recognition as a poet and artist while addressing her husband’s parish duties. When the Larrabee’s Christmas card—featuring Letty’s home—captures the interest of a card publisher, unexpected connections emerge. As life unfolds, past grievances blur and give way to forgiveness and renewal, especially when estranged characters reunite during the festive season. The novel culminates in the poignant realization of love, embodying the warmth and redemptive power of the Christmas spirit. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
