Read an Excerpt

It was nearly nightfall. The shoeless orphan girl blinked away thick white snowflakes falling in her eyes. Everyone in the great city was bundled and busy, heads down, eyes fixed on the black cobblestones peeking up through packed snow. A passing wagon spewed freezing slush across the child's loosely wrapped feet. Out of the way, its wheels grumbled. But the shivering girl was not afraid and did not step back. She stood silently, holding out all she had in the world--a bundle of wooden matches--saved for selling this Christmas Eve.
