Hope is a rare commodity when the spirit of Christmas seems to be silenced…

Tom Turner has just returned from the bloodiest battle of the first world war—the battle of the Argonne Forest in France. But what he feels as he stands over the graves of his parents when he returns is even more painful.

With his wife and two children by his side, Tom is determined to pick up the pieces of their broken lives, take over the small ranch that was his childhood home, and make a life they’ll never have to leave again.

But as their first Christmas back together nears, fate begins to thwart Tom’s best laid plans. Is there even hope for a Merry Christmas at all?

5.0 out of 5 stars Really???

I loved this story! A little "make believe" always makes a good story, especially during Christmas time (it could be somewhat true if the bear had been a pet as a cub). A strong faith helps make it possible.

Tom and Amy may lose their farm to foreclosure. J. B. Randall, the town banker, is an angry man because of the loss of his son in WWI where Tom also fought. Randall will not give Tom time to turn things around, so Tom starts working off the farm for wages. Tommy, his son, hears his parents talking about their troubles and decides to go hunting to bring in some venison for the winter. Tommy goes just as a storm hits. He gets lost and Tom and their neighbors and friends go out looking for Tommy. They cannot find him. They only find his gun, his glove, grizzly bear tracks, and drag marks. Did a grizzly bear get Tommy? Will they be able to find him before he freezes or worse? Will they get a Christmas miracle?

I enjoyed this story although it was a little preachy for me, but it is a Christmas story, and you know there will be a miracle and a happy ending. So that made it readable for me. Though I did have a tear in my eye (not for the reason his parents did.) This was a good read.

I liked Tom and Amy. I liked that Tom's thoughts were given at times about his blessings. I liked the help given by the neighbors though the weather was bad in the Rockies. They did and gave what they could. I appreciated the preacher's visit to Mr. Randall and how he showed Randall back to the path of the Savior. I enjoyed the change of heart. I appreciated Tommy's growth during this time and how it showed after. He became a man through his experience. The hope shown by Tom, Amy, Tammy, and the town were a good reminder for the season that miracles do happen.

A good book for the whole family.

Even though I don't agree with your religious dogma I have enjoyed all of your books I have read. Contain good history lessons and insight into the American mindset. There are good men and women regardless of race or color who stand up for what is right and don't let wickedness prevail. Clean entertainment.
