An Elf Named Finley Rick Junnila

An Elf Named Finley, is an inspiring Christmas Story about a boy named Finley who has spent his entire 13 years of life as an orphan. In the early years of becoming a man, he suddenly finds himself homeless and without a job. 
 
Traveling out of the city in search of work, he finds a job in a small town of average people who strangely enough, call themselves "elves."  He is offered a scroll of written rules for making toys.  With empty hands and empty pockets he begins the often difficult task of creating something from nothing.
 
Finley discovers that before he can create toys he must master the use of tools such as belief, love and hope... not hammers and nails like one would expect.  Filled with both apprehension and determination Finley begins his journey.
 
When he has finally mastered the rules for making toys, Finley comes to the realization that he has not only created a toy, he has created the life of his dreams!
