Tinsel: A Search for America's Christmas Present
By Hank Stuever
One October Hank Stuever left Washington, DC and headed to the northern suburbs of Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas. What ensues is his experience of middle America's approach to the every important holiday: Christmas. In following the seasonal traditions of three families, Stuever learns about the intersection of faith, family, and the economy. His insights on decor, evangelical faith, and geo-economics of strip malls combine for an engagingly honest look at life in Frisco, Texas. He may have been an outsider looking in, but by the end he discovered a least common denominator that links us all together at Christmas: our own humanity.
