From the projects of South Boston to drug infested suburban slums, the twelve Cunningham kids survived a life too harsh, even for hope. Yet, hope is what they lived on as they struggled to endure a private war raging around them, the emotional and physical scars now their only lasting memories. The Twelve Children Of Christmas is a celebration of family and hope—the hope of children. It is a collection of twelve Cunningham Christmas stories that recount their time together growing up and their inspirational ability to make something out of less than nothing.
