This is the story about a man and a boy one December. A man
whose life is changed by a simple expression of kindness,
and a boy who takes that expression of kindness and shows
the true meaning of Christmas.
Kevin Morrell is a 43-year-old husband and father who runs
a successful design and marketing firm that's crashed into
the suffering economy. Attempting to navigate the busyness
of the mall at Christmas, Kevin is humbled when he stumbles
across the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Project. His wife
insists that he take a paper ornament.
The name on the ornament is Thomas Brandt, a 15-year-old
still reeling from the implosion of his family — from years
of verbal abuse from an alcoholic father to a mother who
finally left him behind, only to find herself and her
children penniless and struggling. The only thing has
allowed Lynn to survive is her faith. Thomas shares that
faith, but he also wonders why God has seemingly abandoned
them.
