Paper Angels

**From country music artist Jimmy Wayne-a poignant story of a child in the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program who encounters the disillusioned businessman who picked his name.** Kevin Morrell is a forty-three-year-old husband and father who runs a successful design and marketing firm that's crashed into the suffering economy. Attempting to navigate the busyness of the mall at Christmas, Kevin is humbled when he stumbles across the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program. His wife insists that he take a paper ornament.

     The name on the ornament is Thomas Brandt, a fifteen-year-old still reeling from the implosion of his family-from years of verbal abuse from an alcoholic father to a mother who finally left him behind, only to find herself and her children penniless and struggling. The only thing that has allowed his motherto survive is her faith. Thomas shares that faith, but he also wonders why God has seemingly abandoned them.

     This is a story about a man and a boy one December. A man whose life is changed by a simple expression of kindness, and a boy who takes that expression of kindness and shows the true meaning of Christmas.Read less
