About This Book

A family accepts a young cousin sent to stay while his father remarries, and the boy's misplaced generosity and a secret about lost money strain relationships. Parents and children trace a missing pocket-book through an old coat, encounter the people who acquired it, and confront the consequences of the child's concealment. The youngster confesses, repents, and faces restitution, and the household responds with patience and practical help for those affected. Through forgiveness, honesty, and communal support, the family reconciles and prepares for a peaceful Christmas.
