Sweden, December of 1852 Fourteen-year-old Tor Neeson, the village troublemaker, steals a master carpenter's priceless Nativity to save his sister's life, but a reversal of fortune leaves him more destitute and desperate than ever. To his frustration, he soon finds himself indentured to the very man he wronged. In his angry struggle to free himself from the control of the inflexible Herr Andersson and the censure of other disapproving villagers, Tor blinds himself to the knowledge that all that stands between him and complete ruin is his most feared and hated enemy: the woodmaster.
