Under The Star: A Christmas Story

By Catherine Sheets

War-weary William Matthews, a captain and surgeon in the Confederate Army, assigned to a Lynchburg, Virginia hospital in the last years of the American Civil War, falls into despair with the ceaseless flood of soldiers quickly converting to his patients. He longs to return home to his native Frankfort, Kentucky and to his wife, Libby, but fears there's no end in sight to the perpetual war. On Christmas Eve 1864, he and the encampment of soldiers just outside the hospital experience a life-changing event when a young Confederate soldier, Jefferson Cohen, and his wife, Marion, who's expecting a child, arrive, relying on the remarkably bright star to lead them. Immediately, Captain Matthews assumes the care of the young family, transpiring into an unforgettable night to remember as astonishing night visitors appear, having been led by the same star. May you truly be inspired by this unusual Christmas story as it unfolds with the wonder of that night, and the extraordinary miracles that happen
