Repicci, who has a private practice as an orthodontist in Greenwich, recently published the book to move away from the consumer-driven holiday season and remember the true focus of Christmas. 

“Sarah’s story is meant to reinforce the virtues and demons we all experience, but set against the familiar and redemptive setting of Christmas,” Repicci said in a press release. 

The book is about Sarah "a young girl living near Bethlehem, as she struggles with growing pains that any adolescent can understand," representatives said in the press release.

"Crushed by her unfair exclusion from the town pageant, Sarah is searching for her lost lamb when she encounters three weary travelers seeking help on their extraordinary journey. Eager to help, Sarah inadvertently offers the travelers the first Christmas gift -- a lantern to guide them through the night," according to the release. "Through the story of this selfless yet flawed young girl, Repicci aims to start family conversation about the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of virtues such as reconciliation, compassion, humility and determination."
