More Than Just A Game

Author's Note- This piece is about the book Miracle on 49th Street. I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of conflict/resolution.

In, Miracle on 49th Street the main character Molly Parker's life hasn't been the same ever since she moved from London to Boston with her mother Jennifer, who had needed medical treatment because she was diagnosed with cancer.
