When Glenn Beck asks the main character (through Russell), Eddie, "It's not WHAT you want to be, but, WHO do you want to be?" This story does a phenomenal job in describing how a person in this child's shoes wants to be thought of after the difficult "storm" of difficulties that the child has been through. Glenn Beck brings the positive virtues of the human experience to the forefront....that is... respect for one's self, hope, forgiveness, and selfless love for others. A joyful appreciation for life that we can have even during and after great tribulation and trials. A masterful, passionate performance; a Christmas classic!!
