My Christmas Angel

A sweet, holiday short story about second chances.

"Little Dickie Daniels is a Christmas angel." Eight-year old Abigail applauds her mother's plan to bring a strange child to their Christmas Eve celebration--who couldn't use a direct line to God, right? Unfortunately, the skinny little boy she meets that night bears no resemblance to the angels of her imagination. And when Mother explains that they are celebrating Dickie's birthday, Abigail is even more confused--until her mother hands him one of Abigail's gifts. But looks can be deceiving Abigail learns, and some encounters leave an indelible mark. Thirty years later, Abby--author of the popular children's book, "My Christmas Angel," and divorced mom with an eight-year-old son--receives a call that proves holiday miracles really do happen.
