      If you could change your life by reversing your biggest regrets, sorrows, and mistakes, would you? #1 New York Times bestselling author Glenn Beck presents a heartfelt narrative about boyhood memories, life lessons, and the true meaning of love. Growing up, Eddie's family was neither wealthy nor poor, but they longed for more time together. At twelve, Eddie's Christmas wish was for a bike, especially after his father’s death and the closure of their family bakery. Despite their struggles, he hoped his mother would surprise him with his dream bike on Christmas morning. Instead, he received a "stupid, handmade, ugly sweater," which he discarded in frustration. This moment marked the beginning of Eddie's painful journey into adulthood, as he grappled with the realization that children don’t always get what they desire. With the help of a wise neighbor named Russell, Eddie learns to navigate the challenges of life and understand the true significance of his mother’s lovingly crafted gift. Based on a personal true story, this poignant tale explores themes of family, faith, and forgiveness, prompting readers to reflect on what truly matters in their own lives.
