    About this ebook

    Maggy's grandfather knows he'll be dead by the time she's born. The only gift he can afford is one he makes with his own hands.

    As he finishes the little wooden chair, he has no idea that his gift will not only be her protector and companion, but it will teach her the meaning of Love.

    Includes a free bonus story: The Price of Friendship.

    Independent Reviewer Captainlock: Amazing Book
    This book may seem like a book for little kids, but once you start reading it, it gets better and better. Definitely a book I would recommend to a friend. Worth every penny. If you have doubts about buying it the forget them! You will not be disappointed, that I can assure you of.

    Independent Reviewer Book Junkie: Kleenex Alert
    This short story was well written, it made you smile at points with the things the little girl came up with and then it made you fear what was going to happen next and in the end you are crying and fearful at the same time. The story is told from the view of the little wooden rocking chair in the little girls room, rocking chair recounts past events as well as what is happening in current time.

      Chapter 1

      Imagine for a moment what it would be like to be a chair. You cannot speak or move; you will never know the joy of sleeping or eating. In fact, all you are good for is supporting people’s rear-ends. The worst part of being a chair is never knowing feelings. Most importantly, a chair will never know love—well, except for one particular little wooden chair.

      Like most little girls, Maggy loved everyone she knew: her mother, father, her aunt, and of course her dolly. But Maggy never thought about loving her little chair.

      He had worked on the chair, late into the night, only stopping when he had one of his frequent coughing spells. It seemed to the chair that he knew building it was the last thing he'd ever do.

      Being a chair is a dull business. All there is to do is wait around for someone to sit on you. Now this particular little chair had it good, at least as good as any chair could expect. The chair was too small for anyone besides Maggy to sit on and, not eating much, she was very light. He had a prime location, just inside the door of Maggy’s tiny bedroom. And Maggy didn’t close her door, which meant that the chair had a clear view of almost of the entire house, which consisted of four
