Stand and Wait

"Stand and Wait" follows Huldah Root, a devoted New England woman whose quiet, selfless service spans three Christmas seasons and two continents. From nursing a child with a fractured skull on Christmas Eve 1848, to tending wounded soldiers in a Virginia church during the Civil War, to a chance reunion in Normandy with a French soldier she once comforted, Huldah never seeks recognition — only to be useful. The story builds toward a final Christmas gathering where forty years of forgotten kindnesses return, transformed into something extraordinary.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
