The tale is unfolded with such mastery, humor, and emotional force that we are entirely within its power.

No one knows about the mementos of this lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But one early winter s day, a widow and her young son approach hum with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle. This moving, lyrical tale, gloriously illustrated by P.J. Lynch, has been widely hailed as a true Christmas classic.
