According to the foreword this is a "limited library edition" of a story originally written for the December 22, 1957, issue of American Weekly. From the book: Possibly the two deepest concerns of all of us today are the impact upon lives forecast by scientific nuclear developments and the role which religious faith will play in the age of interplanetary travel. Pearl S. Buck, winner of literature's highest award, the Novel Prize, has ingeniously succeeded in weaving together in "A Certain Star" a story about these two powerful subjects. It is a warm story pulsing with keen sensitivity to the family tensions besetting dedicated men on the contemporary scene. Above all, it is a story with an inspiring message for families in all walks of life and one especially appropriate at Christmas time. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 23 pages .
