About this audiobook
If even a small part of a child still lives within your heart, The Angel Doll can't help but captivate. It is a timeless, deeply moving Christmas classic about the greatest gift of all: the lesson of love.
Set in a North Carolina manufacturing town in the 1950s, this is the story of two young boys, best friends, both ten years old. One has a four-year-old sister, desperately ill with polio, whose favorite book is The Littlest Angel. She longs for one thing: an angel doll for Christmas—something nobody in town has ever seen. The boys set out to get her one, at great cost and even greater reward.

But that’s just what his polio-stricken little sister wants for Christmas, and, by God, Whitey and his best friend are going to find her one, no matter the cost. As Whitey sets out to give Sandy the one thing she wants more than any other, he begins a journey that defines his ideals of love, family, friendship, and the meaning of life itself.The final heartbreaking conclusion will stick with you long after the last page has been turned.
