Three sweet Christmas tales loosely connected through a
Humane Shelter and the love that rescues can bring to our lives.
Holiday Haven by Vicki Lewis Thompson – Television
cameraman Ben doesn't want the pain losing love can bring so he holds himself
apart with only casual hookups. Shelter
director Tansy knows that love sometimes hurts but oh the joy of having had
it. Ben & Tansy meet when she is at
the station asking for people to foster shelter animals over the holidays. Can Tansy and crotchety cat Max show Ben that
love is something everyone needs?
Home for Christmas by Catherine Mann – Being a military
wife is tough. With their marriage on
the rocks Shelby hopes that when Alex comes home on holiday leave a trip to
deliver some shelter dogs to their forever homes will give them time to
talk. Can their marriage be saved?
A Puppy for Will by Kathie DeNosky – Will is divorced
and has thrown himself into his work.
When his Grandmother cons him into fostering Harley, a St.
Bernard/Bernese Mountain dog puppy (think small pony), over the holidays Will
isn't thrilled but then the puppy gives him something to do besides work. Will’s new neighbor Marcie is determined to
have a good Christmas this year. Can she
and Harley help Will realize that there is more to life than work?
I purchased this because I've enjoyed other stories by Vicki
Lewis Thompson. I enjoyed her story but
my favorite in this book was Home for Christmas by Catherine Mann. It may have to do with the fact that I am a
former military wife and know just how very hard it is to make a military
marriage work. All three stories are
worth the read. This book also reminded
me just how much our three rescue kitties bring to our lives.
