Wally Lamb, the beloved #1
New York Times bestselling author of
The Hour I First Believed, I Know This Much Is True, and
She's Come Undone, delivers a holiday treat with
Wishin' and Hopin'--an unforgettable novella that captures the warmth and joy of the holiday season. Poignant and hilarious, in a vein similar to Jean Shepherd's
A Christmas Story and David Sedaris's
The Santaland Diaries, Lamb's Christmas tale focuses on a feisty parochial school fifth grader named Felix Funicello--a distant cousin of the iconic Annette!
