A coming-of-age holiday tale based on Richard Paul Evans's own childhood that shows us how hope and acceptance can be found in the most unexpected of places. -- From the publisher  a1967. For young Richard it is a time of heartbreak and turmoil: his brother Mark is killed in Vietnam, his father loses his job and moves the family from California to Utah, and his parents decide to separate. When he's run down by bullies at his new school, Richard is rescued by Mr. Foster, an elderly neighbor. The man inspires Richard's love for books; Foster's dog, Gollum, becomes his companion. As a grim Christmas approaches, Richard learns for the first time what truly matters about the spirit of the season: that forgiveness can heal, and that love endures long after the pain of loss subsides. -- adapted from jacket  aText in English  aBPL: David Winn Bishop and Isabel MacPherson Bishop Memorial Fund. 0aHolidaysvFiction99865 0aFamiliesvFiction95980 0aChristmas stories9681 0aDeathvFiction95913 0aGriefvFiction95896 0aBelief and doubtvFiction912578 7aChristmas fiction.2lcgft92984 7aDomestic fiction.2lcgft961  a.b177735296  2ddccBOOK  c28587d28587  2ddc4070aABELJbABELJcAFd2022-12-02g17.99l4m1oEVANp64047r2024-01-24s2023-12-08w2022-12-02yBOOK11
