THE FORGOTTEN CAROLS is a timeless classic that exudes the warmth of the
Christmas spirit. Constance is a nurse whose empty life is changed when she
takes on a new patient. He recounts the story of Christ’s birth as told by
little known characters in the nativity story. The accounts from the
Innkeeper, the Shepherd and others help her discover what the world has
