Little Gunnuf keeps busy helping his family prepare for the lovely Christmas festivities at Roland Farm. However, the Rolands are all so occupied with their own tasks that he can’t get the help he needs for his special gift for Mother—that is, until he becomes better friends with Fru Solem, the lonely, aging widow who lives up the mountain. Gunnuf’s thoughtful and kind attention to Fru Solem brings blessings and gifts that make this Christmas one of the finest yet.
