Book excerpt: Every-now-and-then a book will come along that touches your heart in such a way you will never forget it! Eli's Christmas is a lovely, heart-warming story of a young boy who lived several years ago in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.Since Eli's father was hurt in a tree-cutting accident, Eli has taken on his father's chores around the farm, as well as his own. While other children play ball after school, Eli heads to work at a local general store to help earn money for his family. Mr. Drucker, the storeowner, is very kind and pleasant to work for, and Eli works hard and is very helpful. Christmas is coming soon and the one gift that Eli is certain to get will be coming by a little train that comes every year on Christmas Eve. All the boys and girls in the community rush to the sound of the train whistle, and then the conductor passes out a present to each child. When faced with a choice to give his only present away, Eli does not hesitate to make another child happy. He knows there are so many other things to be thankful for, such as being with your family, enjoying fresh fallen snow and a wonderful Christmas meal. However, to his amazement, another surprise is just around the corner...
