War came in December 1941. Families were torn apart. Fathers and brothers left for battle, and mothers and sisters left for work. Children were often left alone to raise themselves. For some, the Christmas of 1941 was their last. For Mary Abbott, it was her best. But for nearly all people, it was the end of one life and the beginning of another.

Like thousands of children during the war, mary was forced to leave her home of love and security for a new life-a life she has hidden until now. Her simple and shocking tale, based on actual experiences, reveals a heart torn by loss and mended with love.

Grandma's Christmas is a gift to be shared year after year.
