Book Cover & Preview Text
It was Christmas morning, but dawn was far away. Beneath the load of covers, burrowed deep in the cocoon of her feather bed, four-year-old Pheba rolled over. The rest of the bed was empty. She opened her eyes. The room was still in shadow. She sat straight up! The other bed was empty, too. Why was everyone already out of bed when it was still dark outside? Oh, yes, it was Christmas morning, and she was being left behind!...Pheba closed the door quickly, her eyes already feasting on what lay on the floor in front of the table.

About the Book
When Mary died in an auto accident at age fifty-two, Pheba decided to write their story. How else would Mary’s boys learn of their mother’s history? This story is rich with God’s care for their widowed mother and her children, and is a beautiful example of the Church becoming the hands and feet of Jesus.
About the Author
Pheba was the youngest in a family of nine children whose father died one year after she was born, and whose mother walked with a limp all her life. The Hawkins family lived on an old fashioned farm outside Mt. Vernon, Ill. in the 1950’s. The surprise? Life is fun even when difficult.
