Just after graduation from college, I went to the Congo as a teacher at The American School of Kinshasa. I had no clue what I was doing! Two years later, I married the newly-arrived Presbyterian mission pilot and moved "up country" . Again, I had no clue! But as Christmas approached, the year I'd intended to be home in the States again with my family, I found myself determined to make Christmas where I was with what I had.

Just before Christmas 1881, a passing hand hears a baby crying in a deserted lineshack on a ranch in the Texas Panhandle. Stuffing her inside his coat to protect her from the bitter cold, he rides to Jericho where she is placed in the local orphanage. On Christmas Eve, Dan and Olivia Forrester, an older couple married only six months, see her and know she is meant to be their daughter. "The Christ Child brought you," they remind her each year in December. And as Kate grows up, she learns the lessons the Babe in the Manger came into the world to share.
