Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Christmas Light" by Ethel Calvert Phillips is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Naomi, who lives in Bethlehem during the time surrounding the birth of Jesus. It explores themes of faith, family, and hope, focusing on Naomi's journey from blindness to sight, which serves as a metaphor for understanding and faith in the broader context of the Christmas narrative. The opening of the book introduces us to Naomi and her life in a little garden in Bethlehem, where she finds joy in her flowers and dreams of digging a well. We learn about her loving family, particularly her supportive brother Ezra, and her longing for adventure and recognition in a society where girls are often overlooked. As Naomi's character develops, she faces the heart-wrenching challenge of losing her sight, which shatters her world. However, the initial chapters hint at her resilience and the significance of the Messiah's arrival in her life, foreshadowing the extraordinary transformation that will ultimately restore her vision and faith.
