Description
An impoverished, poor and barefoot little girl of London comes to faith through friendship with a local pastor; your children will want to hear this story time and again with its beautiful themes of mercy and compassion.
Barefoot little Jessica lives in a home where no one knows about God. She looks forward to spending time once a week with Mr. Daniel, a miserly old coffee peddler who eases his darkened conscience by giving her stale bread and coffee. Jessica's prayers and innocent questions go straight to the coffee peddler's heart. He learns to value the life of a child more than money as he becomes Jessica's new father.
Also contains the follow-up story entitled Jessica's Mother, always a separate book in other published editions.
