A Gift from the Heart 

Doris wasn’t always a grandma. Many years ago, she was a young girl. She was a young girl with friends. She was a young girl with dreams. She was a young girl who wanted a special Christmas gift – one her family couldn’t afford.

The Christmas gift under her tree in 1934 was not the gift she dreamed about. It was something else she didn’t imagine. It was something her mother and her friends spent many hours creating. It was a gift from many hearts. That gift still exists today.

That Christmas gift from 1934 lives on, still viewed and admired by many. Long after Doris left this earth. Long after the hometown of Athelstan, Iowa ceased to be a town.

This Easy Reader shares the story of Doris’ special Christmas gift from so many years ago. It tells the story of a set of quilt squares that Doris kept for her whole life. The squares made their way back home to Iowa 80 years later. And a gift that so many people stitched as a memento to give to Doris on Christmas day lives on – still a gift from the heart.
