A beautiful family story. It is about a dysfuntioncial family which had conflicts from a spoiled daughter and ex-wife and new baby and a dog. It turned out good. A new baby fixing the love in the family by bring love to new wife of grandfather and spoiled daughter. The new wife of grandfather was nurse. She brought the new baby into the world on Christmas Eve. The boy and the dog had ran away and were found. A beautiful story. This book is adorable. The author does a great job of setting the scene, and you can see Nantucket in all its Christmas glory. It made me want to do two things: buy a dog and plan a trip to the East Coast! It's a quick read and very enjoyable, but I only gave it three stars because I thought that the plot was a little thin with only a few central conflicts, and I was disappointed in the ending (a bit cheesy and too unrealistic even for my own idealist taste).I won't spoil the ending for anyone, but if you want a quick Christmas read to get you in the spirit, this is it! Just don't expect anything beyond and you'll be happy :)
I wanted to like this, but it was so cliche and predictable.
