The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey

The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey by Susan Wojciechowski tells the story of Jonathan Toomey, the village woodcarver. Toomey is always unhappy, but no one knows that he has a reason to be gloomy because of the deep sorrow he has experienced. One day, widow McDowell and her son, Thomas, come to see Toomey to commission a nativity scene. As Toomey works on the set, the widow and her son come to visit him, and Thomas watches him carve. Through their friendship and his work on the nativity figures, Toomey comes to experience the joy and hope of Christmas.
