'Christmas on Mill Street' wonderful story of acceptance
Sam Andrews is the new kid in town. He has moved from Arizona to Utah and has never seen snow (except in pictures). Sam is trying to fit in with the neighborhood boys, but feels at a disadvantage.
"They had all lived in the same neighborhood all their lives and they had known each other ... well ... forever. (Jimmy and Johnny had known each other longer than forever, but that didn't really count because they were twins). So as winter approached, I was still feeling like an outsider — a tall, overweight, semi-clumsy outsider."
When the topic of "Mill Street" is mentioned, Sam has no clue what the boys are talking about. They explain that all of them have tried to ride their sleds all the way down Mill Street to Orchard Drive.
