A Letter to Santa
A Novel of Faith, Miracles, and the Power of Believing
When all hope seems lost, one child’s faith dares a town to believe again.
Comanche Springs, Texas, 1887. After a tragic accident leaves fourteen-year-old Thomas Caldwell in a deep coma, doctors offer little comfort and even less hope. As days stretch into weeks, his family—and the entire town—begins to brace for the inevitable.
Everyone, that is, except Thomas’s nine-year-old brother.
While his mother keeps a weary bedside vigil and neighbors quietly prepare for loss, young Eli Caldwell refuses to give up. With the simple, stubborn faith of a child, he prays, and as a last resort, writes a letter to Santa Claus—not asking for toys, but for a miracle. Please bring my brother back.
Ridiculed by skeptics and dismissed by those who say miracles don’t happen anymore, Eli holds fast as Christmas approaches and Thomas remains silent and still. But when Christmas morning arrives, Comanche Springs is forced to confront an answer to prayer no one can explain…along with a mysterious reply from a place called Santa Claus, Indiana.
A Letter to Santa is a moving historical Christian novel about the courage to believe when faith looks foolish, the unbreakable bonds of family, and the quiet miracles that can change a community forever.
Perfect for readers who lovedThe Christmas Box, A Christmas Carol, and other timeless stories of hope and redemption.
If you’ve ever needed a reminder that prayers are heard, miracles still happen, and believing—especially when it’s hardest—can change everything, this is the story for you.
