A Christmas Story of Faith and Freedom
by Lee Hardesty
No reviews yet. Be the first.
When fifth-grader Susan moves to a new school just before Christmas, she only wants to do what she has always done: give simple handmade ornaments and cards to her classmates.
Instead, her gifts of “Peace and Love” spark a firestorm. Confiscated presents. A sudden suspension. A tense school board meeting that spirals out of control.
A Time of Giving is a moving, inspirational Christmas short story about childhood faith, the true meaning of the season, and the courage to stand for what is right. Perfect for readers who love heartfelt holiday fiction, stories of religious freedom, and the quiet power of one small act of kindness.
If you believe Christmas still has the power to bring people together, this story is for you. One-click now and rediscover the joy of giving.
