Gideon's Gift (Large print, Hardcover, Beeler Large Print ed.)

Five years ago, Earl Badgett lost his beloved wife and daughter--and his faith in everything good. Angry and heartbroken, he took to the streets. He doesn't want anyone reaching out to him; he doesn't need anyone--especially the pesky little girl who refuses to leave him in peace when he stops by the shelter for an occasional meal. How can he know eight-year-old Gideon Mercer is a leukemia patient--confident her sudden remission is a Christmas gift from God? How can he know how much she wants to share the truth that Christmas miracles happen to those who believe? When she gives Earl a gift, neither of them can imagine that the present she's found will lead him to a heart-wrenching reawakening. Or that his determination to return the favor will begin a series of Christmas miracles that will reverberate throughout the rest of their lives...
