After previously reading A Dog Named Christmas I knew I
wanted to read A Christmas Home. A Christmas
Home by Greg Kincaid is a sweet story that would probably be enjoyed most by people
who love the Christmas TV movies and animals.
“Todd McCray, hero of a Dog Named Christmas, is now
twenty-four years old and working at a local animal shelter, where he meets and
quickly becomes best friend with Laura, a young volunteer.” Laura and Todd both
have disabilities that help them understand each other. Todd trains a stray
that has come to the shelter to be a service dog to help Laura with her
physical disabilities. He loves his job at the animal shelter but the small
town is struggling financially and announces they will have to close the
shelter. Todd struggles to know what to do next.
Todd is something of
a prodigy when it comes to loving and training animals although it is evident
that he struggles with learning disabilities. The story shows that we all have
our strengths and weaknesses in life and if we follow our desires we can
accomplish anything. It a story that
shows family and friends can pull together to get each other through obstacles
of life.
A Christmas Home would be a good read for a younger reader,
pre-teen or teen. It is easily read and the characters are easy to believe and
identify with. And as I said before if
you love the Christmas made for TV movies you will love this book. As I read it
I thought it would make a good movie for the holidays.
I would recommend this book to my friends. I received this
book at no charge from booksneeze.com for an honest review. You can purchase
this book here
at Amazon.com.
