Christmas is fast approaching, but in the Saxton home, there is no money for gifts. Could there still be something special for Gail underneath the tree? In The Christmas Doll, best-selling author Jason F. Wright shares a true story from the life of Gail Saxton Miller, billionaire businesswoman and owner of the Utah Jazz NBA team. But Gail's childhood was vastly different from her life now—facing poverty in the 1940s, the Saxton family made ends…

Nostalgic Christmas memory.

New York Times best-selling author Jason F. Wright brings the true story of Gail Saxton Miller to life in the new release, The Christmas Doll. Gail’s family was struggling financially when she was a child and the children were fortunate to get one Christmas gift. Gail treasured the doll she received. She loved her so much the doll was worn out within the year, then placed on a shelf and forgotten. But when the next Christmas came around and the family was still struggling, Gail’s mother found a creative way to make Christmas special for her daughter again.

The Christmas Doll is set in a simpler time before Christmas was commercialized. The family’s frugal circumstance is one that many of today’s children haven’t experienced in our current culture of excess.  The book is designed to become a family heirloom. The elegant hardcover has a texturized dust cover, beautiful real-life illustrations by Howard Lyon complement the story, and the ending brings home the Christian message.

Recommended for ages 4-8.
