Set during wartime England, this touching holiday tale—based on the beloved British TV show The Repair Shop—highlights how one act of kindness can transform a life.
As a young girl, Susan is evacuated from London during World War II and sent to live with strangers in the countryside. Lonely and homesick, she doesn’t expect much from her new life. But on Christmas morning, she receives a doll she names Lizzy—the most precious gift she’s ever known. Decades later, Susan and her great-granddaughter, Evie, bring Lizzy to a repair shop, where Susan reflects on her childhood struggles and the enduring impact of that Christmas gift.
With lively endpapers featuring the repair team and heartwarming illustrations full of nostalgia, this cozy story is perfect for sharing during the holidays. It’s a timeless reminder of generosity, love, and the lasting power of cherished memories.
