4.0

Faith Ann Jeffries is only four years old when a policeman, Max Millsen, comes to take her away and Faith knows it is because her dad has hurt her mom so bad that she won't be coming back to her. That night Faith receives a bear from Max and that is the only Christmas present she receives. Faith is then put in with her Grandma and doesn't celebrate Christmas.

Faith becomes a workaholic and is forced to take 6 weeks vacation and quickly meets a friend in her waitress Prudence and her nephew Alek. Will Faith allow herself to open up and trust them or will she close herself off so no one can hurt her again?

I really enjoyed this book and all the issues that it covers. I can't imagine living in a house without Christmas and it is no wonder Faith is so closed off from the world. I liked that Prudence and Alek didn't give up on her and Faith was truly able to see what she has been missing.
