Miracles and Menorahs (Friendships and Festivals, #1)

by Stacey Agdern

“My best guess,” she said after thinking for a second, “is that people are grabbing on to Hanukkah, the light in the darkness that it is, as something reassuring. These days, people are in desperate need of something that celebrates the triumph of good over evil. And the fact that miracles can happen for everybody, even them.”

“People are searching for things that make them smile, because on so many days they can’t do it on their own.”

“There are times where it’s so dark outside that you can’t remember when it’s ever been bright. But each night of Hanukkah brings one more candle into the window, or into public display wherever that is, and it’s just a little bit brighter, until the entire menorah is full of light.”
