This is a pretty slow response but the book is Welcome Comfort and its also one of my favorites. Its hard to find. I had to order it She also wrote A Christmas Tapestry. And An Orange for Frankie. (Also a Christmas story). Another great book that we use when collecting items for gift boxes for needy children is Boxes for Katja (not by Pollacco but similar style) Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
