As Christmas approaches, Nellie must decide whether to forgive Roger and embrace their love or walk away from him forever. The novel explores themes of love, forgiveness, and the power of tradition during the holiday season.1909. Allen was born on a farm near Lexington, Kentucky. As a young boy, he lived the life of the Southern ante-bellum gentry, but by the time he was a teenager the Civil War and Reconstruction had ushered in a new era for both himself and his family. Later, he moved to New York City to pursue writing full time. Many of his works reflect Kentucky themes. The Bride of the Mistletoe is a story about two characters-a middle-aged married couple living in a plain farmhouse; one point on the field of human nature is located; at that point one subject is treated; in the treatment one movement is directed toward one climax; no external event whatsoever is introduced; and the time is about forty hours. Allen's intent was that this would be the first in a series including A Brood of the Eagle and The Christmas Tree: An Interpretation.
