It's the spring of 1946 and sisters Eddie, Ocy and Darlene and their courageous widowed mother are looking forward to another Easter. When Brother Zeb announces a special offering for a poor family in their church, the three girls jump at the challenge, immediately turning an old pickle jar into a treasure chest of change for the poor family! Resourcefulness, hard work and cheerful hearts make this a year they would never forget. Eddie, Ocy and Darlene are in for an adventure, a surprise and a heartwarming holiday in this book based on the inspiring true story of Eddie Smith Ogan and her family.

Caroline Kraft is the third of nine children and could easily relate to Eddie's comments about growing up in a busy, happy home. She remains at that home, affectionately called Eyrie Park, today. Five of Caroline's siblings came to her through international adoption. Caroline loves to write, doodle, watch old movies, travel and squeeze her nephew. She lives in Texas with her parents and several siblings. This is her first book to write or illustrate. She blogs at carolinerosekraft.com.
