The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey

Susan Wojciechowski

"The tale is unfolded with such mastery, humor, and emotional force that we are entirely within its power." --The New York Times Book Review

Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles. No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But one early winter's day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle. The moving, lyrical tale, gloriously illustrated by P.J. Lynch, has been widely hailed as a true Christmas classic. This beautiful edition includes a note from the author and an audio narration by James Earl Jones available as a complimentary download.
