Description

As a child, during a cold, dark wartime winter, the author found a cardboard shoebox hidden beneath a closet floorboard. On ragtag scraps of paper, his mother carefully copied snippets of Scripture. Was this Shoebox Bible related to why his father ran away? Years later, on her deathbed, his mother may help solve the mystery. Sad, funny, and inspiring.
