In this truly heartwarming Christmas story talented
author Niki Turner introduces us to a selfless to a fault young nurse, Sadie
Hubbard. Sadie works in a children's Preventorium,
a sad place where children are put when exposed to Tuberculosis.
Three days before
Christmas Sadie is trying to figure out she can provide presents for all the children
who will be spending the holiday in the Preventorium. Knowing she doesn't have
enough money, she resorts to what she has been doing since working there when
the children needed anything; pawning her family's jewelry. Even though it
saddens her to do this, the tremendous joy on the children's faces will be
worth the sacrifice.
While contemplating how
she can make her limited funds cover that many presents Sadie absentmindedly walks
into the path of a Model T Ford. Thank God the man behind the wheel was paying
more attention than Sadie and was able to avoid hitting her.
Nathan Well's is a
young man who has been through a lot in the past few months, the loss of his
brother has shaken his faith to his very core. It seems like it's all he can concentrate on lately;
good thing he did have the sense of mind to concentrate on his driving too
because out of nowhere a young woman walks out right in front of him. Narrowly
missing her, he swerves into a tree with the only thing he has left of his dear
brother; his Model T Ford.
When Sadie realizes
what she caused she runs over to check on the man that almost hit her and she
finds a very angry young man with the most piercing blue eyes. When Sadie apologizes
for her mistake he demands the money to fix his car or he threatens to have her
arrested. Knowing there is no way she
can give him something she doesn't have, she tells him where he can have his
car repaired and she promises she will give him the money.
Later in the day Sadie
returns to her boarding house only to find the same man sitting at the table
having dinner. Is this just a coincidence or could there be a higher power at
work here? Will Sadie be able to help Nathan find his faith again?
