The Three Gifts A beautiful Christmas story about three young men who are convicted of mugging little children for their Halloween candy. Instead of sentencing them to jail, as is expected, the judge sentences them to 100 hours of community service babysitting at the Women's Crisis Center. They were prepared for jail, but they were not prepared for what was in store for them as the children opened their eyes and hearts and changed their lives. The Mail-Order Bride It was to be the big day for Eli. His fiancé, Molly, was coming in on a ship. Two years earlier, unable to find work in England, he had headed for America. His ship was caught in a storm, and he ended up, not in Pennsylvania as he planned, but in Newfoundland. But that was all behind him now. He had written to Molly every day for the two years, and now she was coming so they could be married. But Eli was in for a surprise. Unknown to him, Molly had married. She had bought him a mail-order bride, and Eli's life was going to suddenly take an unexpected twist. 66
