I really loved this book. It's about a boy who wants a bike for Christmas. He and his mom are poor, but this boy feels like he's really earned this bike. On Christmas morning, he discovers that he didn't get the bike, but a handmade Christmas sweater by his mom. He's so mad that he goes upstairs and throws it on the floor. His mom goes up after him to discover the Christmas sweater that she had worked so hard on and made with so much love in a heap on the floor. She is devistated. It made me think of the Savior and how he gave us this great gift of the atonement and how sometimes we don't appreciate it and we throw it on the floor. Although this book is not a religious one, I really loved how Glenn Beck told, bascially the story of his childhood in this fictional novel. A great read. I cried.
