About this item

A holiday fable with year-round meaning, 47 Minutes on Christmas Eve mixes everyday life and surreal imagery in a search for work-life balance in a digital age. Praised by John de Graaf, bestselling co-author of Affluenza, as "deep" and "memorable" with a "powerful and timely message," it shows a way to find time when there seems to be no time, and how to hold on to the natural environment even when nature seems crowded out on all sides. And it does this through its main character's experience of a typical Christmas predicament - of panic, stress, and running out of time. Reviewed as "a treasure that will endure through the years" (Lynchburg, Va., Ledger) and "a magical tale of redemption" (The Hook, Charlottesville) , 47 Minutes has been compared (Virginia Living magazine) to the classics Alice in Wonderland and It's a Wonderful Life.
