Publisher's Synopsis
This is a Christian Christmas holiday sci-fi fantasy that uses the 12 Days of Christmas chronology and focuses on the power of love and faith. The book is populated by sentient mobility devices and by humans of various ancestries and religions, including Christian, Buddhist, and Muslim. Born at Your LyfeWalkr Company in Minnesota, USA, Shirley LyfeWalkr, with her 399 birth-mates, receives from loving telempath humans of various backgrounds and religions an awesome education in human nature and behavior. They are taught how to mindfully use their own emotions as tools for joyful living, how to use skillful emotionality (mindful crying) during an emotional crisis, and, of course, how to help disabled humans avoid falling. They are thrilled to be alive. So what terrible news breaks their hearts? The Six Noble Heartbreaking Facts, the Six Noble Devastating Truths, and The Seven Commandments!
