CHRISTMAS ON THE SUN-UP Hypnotized by the swirling snow, 10-year-old Jane Eaton peers into the days of December of 1943, the days that lead to Christmas. From her perch in the hayloft of the barn on the Sun-Up, her thoughts ride far on the blowing wind. With the hard work of the ranch behind them, Jane’s foresight shows the Eatons soaring into a fun-filled season. But, she cannot see into the week before Christmas when a missing-in-action telegram from the War Department brings all hopes for Christmas to a dead stop. She does not catch a glimpse of Mother’s jangled nerves or Scott’s despair. She does not have a far-sighted view of their sunny home struck silent as blackened midnight. Nor, can Jane imagine the wonder of Christmas Day after a hoped-for, but unexpected gift arrives—not in a sleigh but a black Chevrolet—on the night before Christmas.
