Susan is very young when she's evacuated from London during World War II and sent to live in the countryside with a family she has never met. Missing home and unsure of her new surroundings, she expects little from the months ahead, until Christmas morning, when she receives a doll she names Lizzy. It is the best present she has ever had.
Decades later, Susan and her great-granddaughter Evie bring the treasured doll in for repairs, and as Susan tells her story, she discovers the true meaning of that long-ago gift. Based on an episode of the British TV series The Repair Shop and filled with glowing, nostalgic illustrations, it's a heartfelt holiday story about kindness and the keepsakes we cherish across generations.
