Review
4.5 Stars, Top Pick - "Walsh paints a wonderful picture of life in America during WW2. The characters are richly developed, and the story about love and forgiveness are not to be missed." --RT Book Reviews Magazine
"The Unfinished Gift is one for the keeper shelf! Dan's book is a fabulous story of redemption and forgiveness. Couldn't put it down and it made me cry which is hard to do."
--Colleen Coble, Bestselling Author, The Lightkeeper's Daughter
Product Description
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.
