The Christmas Gift John Mcdonnell

A heartwarming story set in the Great Depression, with a message for these hard economic times. A doll named Constance, who lives in a mansion in Philadelphia, is stolen by a raggedy street urchin named Sarah. Constance and Sarah travel across the America of the 1930s with a group of hobos, riding freight trains and looking for work. It is a very different life than Constance had in the mansion in Philadelphia, and she learns a valuable lesson about opening her heart and learning to love. The Christmas Gift is a story of separation, love, and the true meaning of Christmas toys.
