From the New York Times bestselling author of A Dog Named Christmas comes this heartwarming Christmas story about the power of family and the strength and love that comes from our pets.

In this fourth installment of the poignant stories of the McCray family and their lovable canines in rural Kansas, matriarch Mary Ann McCray is determined to shake up Christmas by accepting the role as Crossing Trail's first woman Santa Claus. Mary Ann, always a bit of a rebel, is looking to offer a more progressive voice in the staunchly conservative town at Christmastime and has a few ideas up her red velvet sleeves.

My Thoughts...

I loved the first three books in this series, while they can all be read as stand alones. I liked them read in order that's just me. I loved the McCray family. They felt like family and I really loved Mary Ann's antics.
This  like the first three is not just for family loving folks it is for all of us canine  lovers.  And you are sure to fall in love with Elle who can't stay out of trouble and  is always being told No, Elle all over town.
I gave this book 4 stars. I hope you enjoy it this Christmas season.

A Christmas Home By Greg Kincaid

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 friends with Laura, a young volunteer. Laura, like Todd, has disabilities of her own, but her struggles are more physical than developmental. Their friendship is sealed when Todd—with the help of his trusted companion, the tenacious Labrador retriever named Christmas—trains a beautiful dog named Gracie to help Laura with the day-to-day life tasks that are difficult for her.             Life seems good for Todd, but all is not well in his hometown. Struggling families unable to make ends meet are abandoning more and more dogs, and the shelter is swelling to capacity.  The local government is struggling to meet its obligations too, and in early December, on the cusp of another holiday season, Todd’s boss delivers the bad news.  Due to funding problems, the shelter will close its doors before the end of the year.  But what will happen to all the animals?     As the Christmas holiday approaches, Todd has limited time to find homes for all the dogs. Not to mention that he needs to secure a new job and figure out what to do when his friendship with Laura takes an unexpected romantic turn. All this seems overwhelming unless you’ve got a loving family, dedicated friends, and a couple of very special dogs behind you. In which case, nothing is impossible.   Pick up a copy here http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Home-Novel-Gregory-Kincaid/dp/0307951979/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352488547&sr=1-1&keywords=a+christmas+home

I LOVE dogs as most of you know. I would be lost with out my Yorkie Luke, so  when the publisher sent me a copy of this book I was so excited to read it.

This is a book you will not put down until the very last page.  It was such a fun read. I plan I buying copies for friends of mine, who love dogs as much as me.

Todd is a character that you take to heart and fall in love with instantly.

I love a book with a happy ending.

This is a must read, I highly recommend this 5 star book
