DEAL OF A LIFETIME,THE - Atria Books

In this short story, enhanced with beautiful illustrations, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and Beartown delivers an insightful and poignant holiday tale about a man who sacrificed his family in the single-minded pursuit of success and the courageous little girl fighting for her life who crosses his path.

It all begins with a father telling a story to his son on Christmas Eve. But this isn't your typical Christmas story. The father admits to his son that he's taken a life but he won't say whose? Not yet.

One week earlier, in a hospital late at night, the man met a five-year-old girl with cancer. She's a smart kid. Smart enough to know that she won't beat cancer by drawing with crayons all day, but it seems to make the adults happy, so she keeps doing it.
