The Tree Nobody Wanted
A Christmas Story
By Tom McCann
BOSTON, MA—November 13, 2007—Tom McCann’s new book, The Tree Nobody Wanted (Exeter Press Boston, October 2007), takes you on a journey back to the hardship and marvel of 1940s boyhood in Brooklyn, New York. On the eve of Christmas, a young boy is sent out to find a tree for the apartment where he lives with his grandmother, Nanny, and a singing bird called Sweetie.
“One thing poor people know is that at eight o’clock on Christmas Eve all over the world, the men who sell Christmas trees simply walk off their rented spaces and begin their own show more Christmas celebrations. They just leave behind the unsold Christmas trees.”
What follows is part fable, part remembrance, part miracle. The Tree Nobody Wanted tells of a simpler Christmastime, family values, and a love that yields miracles. This poignant story is a holiday treasure for all ages.
