Beautiful Gift book about a World War 2 veteran who has a stump for an arm, has post traumatic stress, is an alcoholic, but has a beautiful wife, 2 children and one on the way, and loses his job at Christmas.

Christmas Eve is the wrong time to be laid off, especially for twenty-seven-year-old Chipper Gaines, with a wife, two kids, and another on the way. A return to the bottle, a crutch in hard times since his homecoming from World War II six years ago, seems for Chipper his only recourse. But three mysterious encounters that night before Christmas begin Chipper on a journey to healing for himself and his family. This book helps readers realize that with God that you can be forgiven and begin again.
