The Fourteen Days of Christmas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781412074360)

Gordon Roy, his wife, Vivien and his children, Ann and Rob once lived sedately in the United States and Canada. They had been on a comfortable slide to oblivion until Gordon jokingly showed Vivien an advertisement for an electrical engineer in Afghanistan. "You want to go, don't you?" she asked. Next year, they were there. That's where the picture on the cover was taken. This was followed by assignments in other developing countries in Asia, Africa and South America where Gordon was involved in the construction of electrical power systems.

Vivien established 17 homes in eight countries and enrolled the children in nine different schools in six of these countries. They took Christmas with them wherever they went.
