One grandmother, five grandchildren, and an impromptu tale that became the Hullers' most guarded Christmas Eve tradition. Every copy sold supports ALS United Ohio.
The story behind the book
One Christmas Eve, with five restless grandchildren gathered at her feet, Leona (Isphording) Huller began to invent a story on the spot — a boy named Jack, his endless curiosity, and a Christmas adventure that unfolded a little further with every telling.
She told it once a year, on Christmas Eve, and never on any other night. For decades it lived only in memory, passed from one gathering to the next. This book finally writes it down.
