Book Cover & Preview Text
Louise remembered her Sunday school story of the three wise men and how they followed the guiding light of a star. A guiding light! A beam of moonlight found it’s way through the treetops as it shined a narrow streak across the field. It seemed to create a path, and Louise began to move toward that path. At first a few cautious steps, and then a few more, and then a hurried step or two, all the while being sure to not drop her precious cargo. All the while, careful to follow the moonlit path across the field.

About the Book
Louise had a secret. A secret so dear that she dared not share it with anyone! And for a seven year old girl, it was difficult not to tell her best friend at school, her mother, or even her old rag doll with whom she told everything. This secret would become a problem that would lead to a crisis on Christmas Eve of 1943.
The challenges of living alone with her mother, of the coming Christmas Program at the church, and of keeping her secret to herself, would lead to a dramatic series of events on Christmas Eve night.
This story exemplifies how Louise’s person courage, her love of family, and her relationship with her church would help her to meet the challenges of Christmas, 1943.
