The Best Gift of All

ALL SPENCE WANTED WAS A MOTHER TO LOVE

Spence Carruthers had a room full of toys, a live-in grandfather who knew all about fishing, and a father who'd forgotten how to count his blessings.

Mark Carruthers had run so hard and so long from childhood poverty that he'd lost sight of what he had here and now.

Leah helped Mark remember, showed him how wonderful his son and father were, showed him that the most valuable gift he could give them was contained in three simple words.

Leah brought the spirit of Christmas into the Carrutherses' home. To Spence it was warm and comforting--like a mother's love.
