Retired marketing professional Theresa McKenna recently published her first novel, Life in Christmas Letters: A story of friendship, love and loyalty. Pictured with her family, son Carter, husband Dan, and son Kevin McKenna (from left), Theresa created a fictional holiday story based on two decades of her family’s annual Christmas letters to friends and family. The semiautobiographical book follows the journey of a mother and wife as she navigates life’s unexpected changes, and references Theresa’s childhood with first-generation Italian American parents, the impact of attending the University of Notre Dame, and her feelings about being a working mother. Theresa’s book is available in its Exclusive Notre Dame Art Hardcover Edition and also in paperback, hardcover, and ebook on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Buzz book reviewer Cindy Burnett interviewed Theresa for an online Page Turners article.
