Christmas ad of a boy exchange and a lasting family bond
A distressed widow responds to a classified ad seeking to borrow a two to four year old boy for Christmas. She visits the widower Harvey Muller and his mother, sharing dinner and forming a lasting family bond. The piece, a Catholic Digest reprint from 1955, ends with gratitude for their seven year marriage and their son.
