My Review:
Christmas vacation is suppose to be a fun time for a child. At least when I was a child this was the case. But unfortunately that wasn't the way it was for Luke Dawson one particular year. This year he felt like the entire world was against him and his family. Luke and his family had a few farm animals they use to sustain their family. But what really helped them through was Luke's father's job, but this year that was even hit and miss. But this one particular winter it was taking all his parents could do to even put food on the table. Not to mention the fact that Luke's brother, Benny was deathly ill and noone could explain why.
So to help the family out for Christmas Luke went to work at the local feed store to take care of the horses. He doing there what he loved the most, taking care of the owners horses. At the beginning of the book Luke is very worried that what his father shared with him in confidence will come true. That this is indeed his brothers last Christmas. While his father is sharing this thought with him, they both decide that they will make this the Christmas Benny will never forget.
Come and follow along with this family as they show us how they relied on the Lord to get them through something that only God can help us with.
