About this ebook
Christmas: a time of family, tradition, togetherness—until your family shatters. With no grandparents to spoil her daughters, one single mom faces the holiday alone. Her daughters worry that Santa, like Daddy, won't show up. She worries, too: What if she can't give them—or herself—the magic of Christmas?
But maybe, just maybe, she'll find that magic on Christmas morning, under the tree, like all the other gifts of the season.
"Rusch is a great storyteller."

To the memory of my mother
The girls are finally asleep. I have waited until I hear no more giggles coming from the tiny bedroom. Now I have taken out the Santa presents, and they are scattered on the apartment’s scarred hardwood floor. I sit in the narrow dining room, which gives me a good place to hide as well as a view of the hall.
