Four Dollars & Sixty-Two Cents: A Christmas Story That Will Melt Your Heart! - Paperback

by Brian W. Kelly (Author)

This is the story of a young boy with a 26" bike, who had a burning desire to have a train set to go around the family Christmas tree each year. This story is true. It takes the reader on a journey using a 26" 1950's style homemade bicycle starting from when the boy was five years old and it ends when he is nine. Either a miracle happens or the Christmas Spirit or Santa or all three bring forth one of the happiest and most amazing moments that any child can experience in a lifetime.Not all stories - even Christmas stories end well. This incredible story will not disappoint any reader once you mount the 26" bike right next to the young boy as he goes through the preparations and the work efforts and adventures within this story. The ending is outstanding. If it were not true, it would still make a great Christmas story. Since it is true, it makes it even more special, especially for me. I am the boy in the story. Thank you for reading it...
