Highlights of  Reader’s Digest December 2016, issue: Cities tend to make strangers of everyone. Yet sometimes we meet people who become more than just acquaintances, they become family. We pay tribute to these very people, our neighbors’, this December in our cover story ‘Better Together. Delve into the heartwarming stories of people who have always stepped up with a ready smile and a helping hand. We continue celebrating the season of giving with two delightful stories, ‘Refugees Welcome’ and ‘The Perfect Christmas Tree’. The first tells of Canadians who have embraced displaced Syrians seeking sanctuary in their country. The second embodies the true spirit of Christmas. We also have a stunning Bonus Read for you, the inspiring story of a young woman who survives a fiery crash in ‘Catrin’s Long Way Back. Rounding off our recommendations is Saadat Hasan Manto’s The Dog of Titwal, a short story that is just as relevant today as it was when it was first written.   Happy Reading!
