It's a busy holiday season for author Richard Paul Evans. His newest book, 'A Christmas Memory,' is set for release. And Netflix adapted his 2017 novel, 'The Noel Diary,' too.
Richard Paul Evans new book, "A Christmas Memory," is his most personal novel ever.Richard Paul Evans has written 45 novels, many of them have been bestsellers. Seven have been turned into TV movies. And yet … he’s more excited about his newest book, “A Christmas Memory,” because “it is so personal.”
His mother is a mess, and Ricky’s only escape is the home of an elderly neighbor, who chases off the bullies and — along with his dog — befriends the boy. But as the Christmas holidays approach, there’s more turmoil for Ricky. He didn’t look at it again until February. He realized he actually had a book and “couldn’t believe it. ... I felt like I had had a ‘Christmas Box’ experience. I didn’t write it for any reason other than to write the book.”
The house, the milk depot and the school have all been torn down. There’s a newer Lincoln Elementary a few blocks from the site of the old one, but Evans sort of wishes the earlier building was still standing. “I would like to walk to that place because it was a time of abject failure and humiliation and pain,” he said. “And I would like to go back almost victorious.”
There are a lot of really adult issues going on, and “A Christmas Memory” shows readers what’s happening through the eyes of a child. “That’s what I hope,” Evans said. “That you feel like you’re him. That you forget you’re in a book, and you’re experiencing it just like he is.” He wants to people to know that he’s always been on the side of equal rights — for minorities and women — and he’d like to put“A Christmas Memory” is a rather quick read — a small, 182-page book that you can get through in one sitting, if you like.
