The Broken Christmas Tree


Book Description

The story of The Broken Christmas Tree is all about one lonely tree on a tree farm in Pennsylvania which no one cares for or picks for their home at advent time. Unfortunate things happen as time goes on, meaning several years; and after a time, the tree believes it will never help celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Now, although we don't believe trees have feelings and understand that the people who reject it year after year really mean no bad intentions, the lesson to be taught is that people do feel hurt emotionally when they are passed by for all kinds of reasons. After many years of working with children having special needs and most of all emotional issues, the author writes this tale with the understanding that adults in the lives of all our children can use it as a stepping-stone to teach about bullying and self-esteem. The positive emphasis is that none of us know the plan for our life in totality, and there is always a special reason God has for each of us. So will the tree fully understand why it was left behind and what the rest of its life was going to be? Read the story and enjoy His coming to earth for us this season.

So begins the achingly funny, often heartbreaking story of Beatrice's quest to escape the gothic eccentricity of her family and find an authentic identity of her own. Married in a misbegotten passion, her parents are totally unsuited to farming or to any kind of business. When they finally lose their "farm," Bea's family spirals out of control. Still under Philippa's spell, Bea moves to the city of Hartford and joins a lesbian community, and becomes so committed to her new gay identity that she barely notices she's falling in love with a man--a man just risen from the ashes of addiction, whose re-creation of himself she threatens to undo.

Whether it is a learning disability, behavior issue, divorce, stepsiblings, loss of a family member, homelessness, or depression-all of these and more do adversely affect our children.

It is a funny story about a little boy named Tarnish. The children will see how Tarnish learned to deal with his anger issues as well as the divorce of his parents. He finds out everything is going to be fine; life is just different for each child. The children will laugh at the antics that Tarnish does throughout the story, then see his amazing transformation by becoming a happy, loving child. This is the first in a series of books to help empower children to look and actively seek the good in everything they see and do. If they can look past what they can't change and still find happiness, these precious children will be able to see that they are loved, important, and needed.
