Sometime in the future, slowly but surely, the earth changes.

Susan can feel something different in the air; her daughter hears music wherever she goes, and her husband is startled to see the wheat in the far field dancing when there is no wind.

 What on earth is going on and how will it change them?

 Dancing With Bear Publishing presents Upon a Midnight Clear, a wonderful collection of poems and a short story you won't want to miss this Christmas! Written by award-winning author Sally Clark, this is a book that will be read year after year.
