The โlovely and memorable taleโ (Luis Carlos Montalvรกn, New York Times bestselling author) of a wounded warrior and his younger brother who discover the true meaning of the Christmas holiday in this timeless story of family bonds. As far as ten-year-old Miller McClellan is concerned, itโs the worst Christmas ever. His fatherโs shrimp boat is docked, his mother is working two jobs, and with finances strained, Miller is told they canโt afford the dog he desperately wants. โYour brotherโs return from war is our familyโs gift,โ his parents tell him. But when Taylor returns with PTSD, the stress and strain darken the family.
Then Taylorโs service dog arrivesโa large black Labrador/Great Dane named Thor. His brother even got the dog! When Miller goes out on Christmas Eve with his fatherโs axe, determined to get his family the tree they canโt afford, he takes the dog for companyโbut accidentally winds up lost in the wild forest. In the midst of this emergency, the splintered family must come together and rediscover their strengths, family bond, and the true meaning of Christmas.
