The Little City of Hope

e-artnow presents the Christmas Specials Series. We have selected the greatest Christmas novels, short stories and fairy tales for all those who want to keep the spirit of Christmas alive with a heartwarming tale. John Henry Overholt is an eccentric inventor desperate to see his Air Motor a success. Unfortunately there are no funds left to finish his project and he is running out of money, time and hope. John's wife had taken a job as a governess in Germany, and he lives alone with his son. His young son is worried too as they'll soon be even without money to buy food. To cast aside their negative thoughts they begin to work on a miniature reproduction of the city of Hope, and while they do so they realize that their hope for the future still lives.
