Description
Hard times have brought out the worst in some people.
Father and Isabel Harrington are horrified when two men attack their father as he walks from work carrying Christmas presents.
How could anyone be so cruel as to steal other peoples' gifts? But realizing the desperation brought on by the Depression, the Harringtons and their friends the Wakamutsus soon busy themselves helping the homeless men in the area.
On the other side of the world, meanwhile, Japan is flexing its military muscle. In Seattle, the Wakamutsus and other Japanese-Americans are beginning to face persecution for their heritage, and Isabel can't understand such horrible injustice. Her concern over this mistreatment is admirable - but will she ever realize that she needs to treat her own brother better?
