Maccagnone (BookSurge Publishing, October 2008) two California boys coping with the

loss of their mother, find themselves uprooted when their father, a Navy Commander, is

transferred to a base in northern Michigan.

With the youngest boy continuously sick, the family must survive military life and the

northern elements as they dwell in their little hunter's cabin on Lake Huron.

When the boys' father must leave prior to Christmas to fulfill his secret mission for the

United States Military, the boys are surprised by a chance encounter that saves a life and

reunites a family.

A tale of family and the magic of the season, Garasamo Maccagnone's latest literary

masterpiece will soon become a Christmas classic.

WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT FOR THE LOVE OF ST. NICK

"As with Maccagnone's novel, St. John of the Midfield, this story is held together by

human emotions: the sorrow over the loss of a wife and mother, the pain of leaving home

behind and the promise of starting fresh, the joys of living in the Michigan wilderness,

and the fear of losing the person who connects you to the past. Woven into all this is the

magic of Christmas and an undying belief in the love of St. Nick.

A truly remarkable Christmas tale, For the Love of St. Nick is a must read for those who

hold family and Christmas close to their hearts."
