About this title

From the Author:

“Several churches in the small community where I live place crèches outside before Christmas. In the evening, soft lights shine on scattered hay, models of animals, and the figures in the stable. One cold night I noticed paw prints of a cat that had walked trough the snow toward the crèche. And I imagined a stray cat finding warmth in the Christmas stable, like other wanderers over the centuries who have found solace there.”

From the Inside Flap:

When her beloved cat dies, Sophie asks her mama, “Will Muffin come back?” Despite her mama’s answer, Sophie asks God to bring Muffin back to her.

As Christmas nears, Sophie’s teacher talks about the miracle of Baby Jesus being born anew each year. So Sophie writes a letter to God, asking for another Christmas miracle.

On Christmas morning, when she has all but given up hope, Sophie discovers how God did answer her prayer – in a surprising and wonderful way!
