The inspirational and autobiographical tale of Christmas Under Northern Lights is, at its heart, a story of a family seeing the gifts of the season in a different light. It is the recounting of a Christmas where two young girls from the big city are going through the dark days of a winter above the Arctic Circle. Living among the native villagers in Kotzebue, Alaska in very rural conditions the two sisters, ages four and six, are intently focused on the possibility that Santa might not find their little village. We see much through the eyes of the children as they look and wish for signs of Old Saint Nick. Meanwhile, the story reveals other magical tidings of joy at work through newfound friendships and relishing a truly hand-made Christmas. With less glitter and more heart, the true message of Christmas and a different perspective comes into full view under the Northern Lights.
