Take A Christmas Story and mix in The Sandlot and you’ll get Joseph Walker’s charming holiday novel—Christmas on Mill Street.

It’s 1962, and young Sam Andrews just moved to Utah from Arizona. A tall, overweight, semi-clumsy outsider, he’s still trying to fit in with the neighborhood boys. When discussion about sledding down the infamous Mill Street begins, Sam pipes in and says he’ll do it. The problem is, Sam has only seen snow in pictures and has never actually ridden a sled. And to top it all off, Mill Street is practically a vertical drop with two deadly curves. A rider going too fast would shoot right off Mill Street and into the Kimballs’ thorn-filled pyracantha bushes. But there’s no turning back now.

Listeners will laugh out loud at the adventures and many poignant lessons leading up to Christmas Day and Sam’s eventual duel with Mill Street. Christmas on Mill Street is a delightful and inspirational family gift for the holiday season.

Joseph Walker has written a weekly newspaper column since 1990 called ValueSpeak, which has appeared in more than two hundred newspapers nationally. Some of his columns were published in the bestselling Chicken Soup series. Joseph and his wife, Anita, have five children and four grandchildren. They reside in American Fork, Utah.

Joe Barrett began his acting career at the age of five in the basement of his family's home in upstate New York. He has gone on to play many stage roles, both on and off-Broadway, and in regional theaters from Los Angeles, Houston, and St. Louis to Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Portland, Maine. He has appeared in films and television, both prime time and late night, and in hundreds of television and radio commercials. Joe has narrated over two hundred audiobooks. He has been an Audie Award finalist eight times, and his narration of Gun Church by Reed Farrel Coleman won the 2013 Audie Award for Original Work. AudioFile magazine has granted Joe fourteen Earphones Awards, including for James Salter's All That Is and Donald Katz's Home Fires. Regarding Joe's narration of John Irving's A Prayer For Owen Meany, AudioFile said, "This moving book comes across like a concerto . . . with a soloist-Owen's voice-rising from the background of an orchestral narration." Joe is married to actor Andrea Wright, and together they have four very grown children.
