The Unfinished Gift: A Novel

by Dan Walsh

Baker Publishing Group | September 1, 2009 | Hardcover

Patrick Collins is seven years old, and on his Christmas list are only three items. He wants the army to find his father. He wants to leave his grandfather''s house. And, for reasons even he doesn''t understand, he wants the soldier that''s tucked away in his grandfather''s attic. Set at Christmastime in 1943, The Unfinished Gift tells in an engaging, simple style the story of a family, and reminds us of the surprising things that affect powerful change in our hearts--like a young boy''s prayers, a shoebox full of love letters, and even an old wooden soldier, long forgotten. This nostalgic story of forgiveness will engage readers everywhere.

This is a story set during the Christmas season about a lonely little boy, a crusty, bitter, old man and how tragic circumstances bring them together. When he comes to live with his grandfather neither of them is prepared for the changes this brings. The book relates how the boy, Patrick, and his grandfather each journey through their own struggles. Patrick is a remarkable boy who touches the hearts of everyone he meets, including his social worker, his grandfather’s neighbour and a man who looks after him when he is in desperate need of help. The story portrays God’s love and forgiveness; how He changes hearts and heals relationships. This would be a good book to read together as a family.
