The Doll in McCallaway's Store tells the story of two gifted
writers (Annabelle McNealy and Jacob Kikkert) and their families. Jacob
is young and poor, aspiring but unread, and Annabelle is older and also
unread, but by choice. The two live separate and different lives, but
share a similar style and passion for their writing. More importantly,
they share a common set of values based on their faith in a Heavenly
Father who loves and intercedes in the lives of His children. The sudden
and senseless death of a cherished loved one initiates for one a trial
of that faith, for the other its confirmation; and for both a series of
events that align their lives and bring their faith together through the
prayer of Jacob's daughter, Molly, and the porcelain doll she wants for
Christmas. The novel is two tales that become one, a tale of love lost
and recovered, an affirmation of family and Christian values, and a
testament to those who believe--or who desire to believe--that there is a
divine hand in chance and circumstance.
