Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Set during the Great Depression, this is the heart-wrenching story of a young girl and her devoted but impoverished father. There's no work for the father, so the two of them are forced to ride the rails, searching for a safe place they can call home. Although times are tough, the love they share and the trust between them proves to be the most valuable Christmas gift of all.

A young girl and her out-of-work father ride the rails looking for a place to call home, but with Christmas approaching and no job, Poppa leaves her in a foster home, promising to return as soon as he can.
