Money in the Chimney (Eleanora Stooke)
$16.75$19.00
In this story we see the world through the eyes of Gracie, the laughingstock of all the children in Jubilee Terrace. Her ill-tempered manner and her scolding voice are her only weapons of defense. One day as Gracie creeps upstairs to check on her sick grandmother, she opens the door and is astonished at the scene before her!
But she has not a single friend to talk to until one day a stranger brings a glimmer of light into her darkened world. He introduces her to the one perfect Friend who never fails anyone! From that moment on, Gracie’s life is forever changed.
As Mark Hamby writes of this story, “May we strive together to step out of our own self-centered lives and take notice of someone – perhaps a neighbor we pass by each day – with whom we can share a smile, or meet a hidden need.”

Reader Review
“I got this book because of the intriguing title, only later did I realize I shared a name with the books main character! Trust me, this never happens! Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. It’s a beautiful story of redemption and what God can do in somebody’s life when they turn to Him. And that the world will see us by His love to those around us.” — Gracie O’Connor, Hugo, Minnesota
