Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley. But he bears a secret sorrow, and never smiles or laughs. When the widow McDowell and her son ask him to carve a nativity for Christmas, it is the beginning of a miracle that will see the warming of his sad, chill heart. This delightful Christmas story is read powerfully by Academy Award and Grammy Award-nominee James Earl Jones, and presented in a beautiful gift-set box for the Christmas season.
