Extrait :
It's Christmas, the season of miracles, joy, and hope. Is that spirit strong enough to bring about the impossible?
"Katie, age 8, wants a family." Katie 's Christmas wish is perfectly simple. And perfectly impossible. Katie lives in a foster home with fifteen-year-old Matt, another foster child who is so frozen that the warmth of Christmas can't even begin to thaw him.
A family, thought Katie. You'd sit on their laps, and their hugs would last and last.
Not hugs like social workers gave: quick as grades.
Hugs like mothers gave: wrapping-you-up hugs.
Hugs like father gave: hoisting-you-into-the-air and tossing-you-around hugs.
Being a foster kid was like living in a blender. Life was always flinging you against sharp blades.
But amazingly, as Christmas approached, Matt was suddenly willing to help Katie with spelling and arithmetic. Matt was silent but mean; mean from years of no family...and Matt helped her.
She wondered if he would let her walk with him part of the way to the restaurant when he went to work tonight. Sometimes he did, and sometimes he would let her stop and talk about the pretty decorations people had. Once, he had held her hand.

She wondered if he would let her walk with him part of the way to the restaurant when he went to work tonight. Sometimes he did, and sometimes he would let her stop and talk about the pretty decorations people had. Once, he had held her hand.
Not everyone is lucky at Christmas. Some people would call 16-year-old Liz Kitchell and her family truly fortunate, but it doens't feel that way to her. It seems that only a miracle can give 8-year-old Katie her holiday wish. She wants a family, something she does not have as a foster child. As for 17-year-old Matt, he too is in a foster home and is finally letting himself feel a sense of belonging. When he allows himself to do a good deed for Katie, he doesn't realize what would happen. Is the spirit of Christmas strong enough to grant the impossible?
