Though��A Spark of Heavenly Fire��has been classified by some readers as a thriller �� and there are plenty of thrills and lots of danger �� A Spark of Heavenly Fire is fundamentally a Christmas book. The story begins on December 2, builds to a climax on Christmas, and ends with renewal in the Spring. There are no Santas, no elves, no shopping malls or presents, nothing that resembles a Christmas card holiday, but the story �� especially Kate��s story �� embodies the essence of Christmas: generosity of spirit.

(Why does A Spark of Heavenly Fire begin on December 2 instead of December 1? Glad you asked that. All through the writing of the book, I kept thinking: if only people could get through the first fifty pages, I know they will like this book. So finally came my duh moment. Get rid of the first fifty pages!! With all the deletions and rewriting, I couldn��t make the story start on December 1 as I��d originally intended, but that��s okay since it didn��t end on December 25 as I had hoped. The story overgrew it��s bounds, but the symbolism still held since it ends around Easter.)
