The only home little Rose has ever known is the orphanage, where Mrs. Hartley cares for all the children as if they were her own. When Mrs. Hartley dies, Rose is sent to an orphanage that is cold and cruel. Rose makes a few friends, and she learns that every Christmas a generous neighbor donates a box of oranges for the children. On Christmas morning, Rose is brokenhearted when she learns that there is no orange for her. However, Christmas is a time of friendship, of love, and of miracles.
