Résumé
A nun who is teaching fourth-graders has her class make a list of admiration and appreciation for each person in the class. Years later, James Engler returns home to Iowa one Christmas after his fiancée calls off their marriage and… discovers that his best childhood friend, Mike, has just been killed in the Gulf War. When Mike's parents reveal at a memorial service that Mike had carried his fourth-grade list with him, most of James's former classmates confess that they, too, kept their lists as a reminder, even in the worst of times, of their admirable traits and that they were appreciated. James didn't save his list, but his mother had--and reading this list changes his life
