Leavitt Peak Press Announces the Release of William S. Shields’ Heartwarming Holiday Memoir: “The Farewell Christmas”

Leavitt Peak Press proudly presents “The Farewell Christmas” by William S. Shields, a tender and nostalgic memoir that celebrates the unbreakable bond between brothers, the power of memory, and the joy of one last Christmas together. With heartfelt detail and emotional warmth, this book is destined to become a holiday classic for families and readers of all ages.

In 1956, Jackie Shields returned to his hometown of Winchester, Massachusetts, for the holidays. A decorated United States Navy fighter pilot and former member of the elite Blue Angels flight demonstration team, Jackie was a local legend. But for ten-year-old Billy, he was more than a hero, he was a big brother, best friend, and role model.

A Christmas Never Forgotten

Through a series of cherished memories from snowball fights and sledding to Jackie’s surprise visit on Billy’s paper route, “The Farewell Christmas” brings to life the innocence and wonder of a 1950s New England holiday. It is a moving tribute to a young boy’s admiration for his brother and the lasting impact of their final Christmas together.

“This book is about more than nostalgia,” says author William S. Shields. “It’s about love, sacrifice, and remembering to treasure the time we’re given with those who mean the most to us.”

A holiday story to be read, shared, and remembered for generations.

“The Farewell Christmas” – Because the best gifts are never wrapped.
