Over the span of a few months, his brother, Mark, is killed in Vietnam; his father loses his job and moves the family from California to his grandmother's abandoned home in Utah; and his parents make the painful decision to separate. With uncertainty rattling every corner of his life, Richard does his best to remain strong-but when he's run down by bullies at his new school, he meets Mr. Foster, an elderly neighbor who chases off the bullies and invites Richard in for a cup of cocoa. Richard becomes fast friends with the wise, solitary man who inspires Richard's love for books and whose dog, Gollum, becomes his closest companion. As the holidays approach, the joy and light of Christmas seem unlikely to permeate the Evans home as things take a grim turn for the worse. And just when it seems like he has nothing left to lose, Richard is confronted by a startling revelation. But with Mr. Foster's wisdom and kindness, he learns for the first time what truly matters about the spirit of the season: that forgiveness can heal even the deepest wounds, and love endures long after the pain of loss subsides. 541 $d 20221011. 648 $a Nineteen-Sixties (Decade) $x Fiction. 650 $a Christmas $x Fiction. 650 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Holidays $x Fiction. 650 4 $a Family Life $x Fiction. 650 4 $a Bullying $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Neighbors $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Christmas Fiction. 655 7 $a Inspirational Fiction. 655 $a Large Type Books. 941 $a 54 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020500.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515010851.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043524.0 952 $l FLPB224 $d 20240321010557.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024558.0 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202014336.0 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117011851.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20240105010137.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021420.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20231121011949.0 952 $l ZTPC475 $d 20231107011526.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025014207.0 952 $l LYPB815 $d 20231013133752.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032218.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230922010318.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20230824014331.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20230704011841.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20230622010910.0 952 $l RGPA371 $d 20230512010111.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20230404021259.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230404012503.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20230404012317.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014530.0 952 $l KIPB845 $d 20230329010731.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230329010332.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20230317010612.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310014308.0 952 $l FQPC224 $d 20230303010602.0 952 $l EEPC605 $d 20230303010338.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230303010114.0 952 $l VIPA334 $d 20230228011319.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20230228010851.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20230222012904.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230221010712.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011706.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011122.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230204010749.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020435.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230203011324.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230203011114.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20230203010122.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230202012448.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20230201025552.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201023410.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20230113010652.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230111010600.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20230104045047.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230104013943.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230104010348.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20230103011820.0 952 $l EWPB745 $d 20221228010124.0 952 $l SNPC104 $d 20221216134744.0 $m SNPC104 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20221214010038.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20221213134203.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE47E9DE510511EDB4F1F7DB20ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
