Book Overview
A wounded warrior and his younger brother discover the true meaning of Christmas in a timeless story of family in this "lovely and memorable" (Luis Carlos Montalv n, New York Times bestselling author) novel from New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe. As far as ten-year-old Miller McClellan is concerned, this is the worst Christmas ever. His father's shrimp boat is docked, his mother is working two jobs, and with finances strained, Miller is told they can't afford the dog he desperately wants. "Your brother's return from war is our family's gift," his parents tell him. But when Taylor returns with PTSD, family strains darken the holidays. Then Taylor's service dog arrives--a large black Labrador/Great Dane named Thor. When Miller goes out on Christmas Eve with his father's axe, determined to get his family the tree they can't afford, he takes the dog for company--but accidentally winds up lost in the wild forest. During this emergency, the splintered family must come together and rediscover their strengths, family bond, and the true meaning of Christmas.
