Country artist Jimmy Wayne's book Paper Angels will be released by Howard Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, for this upcoming Holiday season. The release marks the recording artist's debut as an author, and is a work of fiction inspired by Jimmy's own childhood as a recipient of the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program. Paper Angels was written with best-selling author Travis Thrasher.
"When my sister and I were kids, we were represented by two of those little paper angels hanging on the Salvation Army Christmas tree," Jimmy said. "Our family was going through a really tough time, and had it not been for the Salvation Army and the people who selected our paper angels, we wouldn't have had a Christmas. I have never forgotten that and to this day I am still grateful for the generous hearts who take care of these kids at Christmas."
"Jimmy Wayne has used his Godgiven talent for songwriting to craft Paper Angels, an inspired and beautifully written timeless story that will bless you and encourage you to make a difference," said New York Times bestselling author Ron Hall. "Like other classic tales of Christmas, this one should be read year after year as a reminder why we celebrate and give."
Paper Angels tells the story of a disillusioned businessman and how an unlikely boy shows him the true meaning of Christmas. This is a heartwarming novel about the importance of faith, the true meaning of Christmas and how one simple act of kindness changed the lives involved forever.
