A Choice To Cherish — Alan Maki

During a cold Montana Christmas, Alan cuts down and decorates a Christmas tree for himself and his dying grandfather, George. However, they have no gifts.

George opens a safe containing eight keepsakes and tells Alan he may select one gift. Before making his choice, however, each day he must read a story his grandfather has written previously about each keepsake.

Through these stories, Alan learns the secrets of his grandfather's life -- his shame, his triumphs, his love for God, and the reason behind a family breach.

During the course of these revelations, three generations reunite in an outpouring of love and acceptance.
