Publisher Description
If even a small part of a child still lives within your heart, The Angel Doll can't help but captivate. It is a timeless, deeply moving Christmas classic about the greatest gift of all: the lesson of love.
Set in a North Carolina manufacturing town in the 1950s, this is the story of two young boys, best friends, both ten years old. One has a four-year-old sister, desperately ill with polio, whose favorite book is The Littlest Angel. She longs for one thing: an angel doll for Christmas—something nobody in town has ever seen. The boys set out to get her one, at great cost and even greater reward.

"I received this book from my Grandma, Christmas 1996 and have read it every single Christmas Eve since. I cry every time still. One of my favorite Christmas books, to remind you what Christmas really is about."

The Angel Doll Listener Reviews

" Inspirational Christmas book about a doll that has become part of the Christmas tradition for a family. "

" So sad but also inspiring. Great short read for the Holidays. "
— Katie, 7/12/2012 -
" Short and sweet. Wouldn't call it a novella, more of a short story. The font is large and the book is small, makes it look longer than it is. "
— Alyssa, 10/25/2011 -
" I've read this before, but it's been awhile. What a wonderful story of friendship, self-sacrifice and love. A great read anytime, but especially this time of year when we (should) focus on others. "
— Margaret, 10/5/2011 -
" It was a book that I bought at a yard sale and the author had actually signed. It's a good short read and it brought me to tears. "

" Heartfelt Christmas story and one that will be read every year during the holiday season. "

" I really wanted to like this book but it left me feeling unfulfilled as to an impressionable Christmas story. Really not worth the thirty minutes to read this book. "
