Kevin Morrell is a forty-three year old husband and father who runs a successful design and marketing firm. Attempting to navigate the busyness of the mall at Christmas,#xA0;Kevin is humbled when he stumbles across the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Project. He picks up a paper ornament and#xA0;is both moved and intrigued by the list. Why would a fourteen-year-old boy want shoes a size bigger than his foot? And why specifically a Banana Republic card? Why of all the stores would a fourteen year old pick that store?#xA0; Thomas Reed is the fourteen-year-old boy on the card. He is still reeling from the implosion of his familyfrom years of verbal abuse#xA0;from an alcoholic father to a mother who finally left him behind, only to find#xA0;herself and Thomas#xA0;penniless and struggling. The only thing has allowed Sandra to survive is her faith. Thomas#xA0;shares that faith, but he also wonders why God has seemingly abandoned them.#xA0; This is the story about a man and a boy one December. A man whose life is changed by a simple expression of kindness the day after Thanksgiving. And a boy who takes that expression of kindness and shows the true meaning of Christmas.
