The Christmas Letterbox - Peggy McGee - Bog

Lucy worked at Mercy Hospital in the Housekeeping Department, readying the surgical room and sterilizing the toys in the Fun Room on the children's floor. After she overheard a seriously ill child wishing for a letterbox to correspond with fairies similar to one in a much-loved book, it reminded her of her young daughter she had lost years ago. Lucy then brought in her daughter's old letterbox to clandestinely communicate with the children. She never imagined what a difference it made until she attempted to decorate the Fun Room into a Christmas fairyland, complete with a castle and sparkling lights. Though, no good deed goes unpunished when she is fired for breaking the rules. Heartbroken that she has disappointed the children, the community comes together to create dreams while healing those in their midst. This is a heartwarming, Christmas story with a reminder of what the true meaning of Christmas encompasses for everyone, both young and old.
