{"product_id":"the-tree-nobody-wanted-a-christmas-story","title":"The Tree Nobody Wanted: A Christmas Story","description":"The year is 1946, a year after the end of World War II.\nThe place is Brooklyn -- the poor side, the tough side: Brownsville.\nThe time is Christmas Eve. The Christmas tree sellers have turned off their lights and gone home. The lots are empty, except for a few forlorn trees that nobody wanted.\nAn eleven-year-old boy is sent out to pick through those trees and bring one back to the apartment where his Nanny raised him since infancy.\nWhat follows is part fable, part remembrance, part miracle.\nIt's a story of family values -- even if \"family\" means a boy and his grandmother; a story of hope in hard times and great happiness growing from small things; a story of youth and age, rejuvenation and rebirth. It is a story of things that are not supposed to happen, but do. That's part of the miracle.\nAbove all, it's a love story -- of a special kind that is the other part of the miracle.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0979740703\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0979740703.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tom McCann\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
