Itâs Christmastime in 1946, and all Addie wants is a pair of cowboy boots and a Christmas tree Ten-year-old Addie lives in Clear River, Nebraska, population fifteen hundred, with her stoic but loving father and quirky grandmother. Carla Mae is her neighbor and best friend in the fifth grade. Carla Maeâs house is different than Addieâsâshe has five siblings and another on the way, while Addie is an only child. Itâs the week before Christmas, and shopping lists are at the front of the girlsâ minds. Addieâs house doesnât have a treeâher dad says they are a waste of money, and theyâll be opening presents at Uncle Willâs anyway. Uncle Will has a tree, but to Addie, it doesnât feel like Christmas without a tree of their own. Then she comes up with the perfect plan. Will it make this the best Christmas theyâve ever had, or will her father never forgive her?
