The Toy Maker's Secret — Laura Strickland

Meghan Martin fears it's going to be a lean Christmas. Since her husband, Dustin, abandoned her and their six-year-old daughter, Angie, she's been forced to give up their cozy house in the suburbs and move to a small apartment in the city. Though she loves the multicultural flavor of the new neighborhood and how people help each other, she fears she won't be able to make all Angie's Christmas wishes come true, especially when Angie falls in love with an expensive, hand-made doll in the toy maker's shop downstairs.
Now mysterious things are going on at the community center where Meghan works. Instead of too few packages beneath the giving tree, there are too many, and nobody can tell how they're arriving. Could it be a touch of Christmas magic?
Jonas Kristensen has been making toys for children a long time, but when he sees Angie's longing for the doll he's made, it touches his heart, just like Meghan's beauty and determination. Used to giving to others, he's nearly stopped hoping for his own happiness. It's been ages since he shared the secret of his magic with anyone. Will this be the year the toy maker receives a gift of his own?
