Despite the encouragement of her soft-spoken school teacher, Staci feels down-trodden. When an unexpected gift is left on Staci's doorsteps it sends her and her friends on an exciting clue-finding adventure to determine the identity of the mysterious gift-giver. As the final clue is revealed Saci discovers her own unique and special God-given gifts and how valuable they are to her friends and the community.
