The Doll in McCallaway's Store
It was cold, but the stove held no fire.
Molly's schoolbooks were not by the door.
Once again she had stopped to admire
the doll in McCallaway's Store.
Thus begins Jacob Kikkert's narrative poem, a poem written in grateful summary of the events that restored his faith in a loving Heavenly Father who intercedes in His own way in the lives of His children. The Doll in McCallaway's Store's two tales become one as you follow the extraordinary series of events that bring three families together through a little girl's prayer and the porcelain doll she wants for Christmas. I invite you to become intimately, even spiritually, acquainted with a palette of compelling characters, some of whose lives continue to teach and inspire in my second and third novels, The Willow Switch and Because He Makes Her Cry.
