Each December a Christmas tree appears in the middle of the small town, Pine River. Town residents then write down Christmas wishes and hang them on the tree. Various individuals then select the wishes and make them come true!
Four children and their life circumstances are featured in this book. Each of them doubt that their wishes will be granted . . . healing for a seeing-eye dog has cancer, a family needs a new home, a boy longs for his mother who is overseas fighting for the country, and a girl wishes her grandmother would value how she has been created. Then the four children come together, determined to discover who is behind the Christmas wish tree each year.
A sweet story of friendship and belonging.
