The Christmas Shoes

"If you’ve ever heard the song, this book goes right along with it. It’s a sad story yet, such a good one. "

"A book inspired by the song "Christmas Shoes" by <i>NewSong</i>. A book with two stories that intertwine with eachother. The first story is about a man named Robert, he has two kids and a struggling marriage. the second story is about a little boy named Nathan. His mom has Ovarian Cancer and is dying, and he is very sad during the holidays when everyone else is happy. This book collides when Robert is doing some last minute christmas shopping on christmas eve and Nathan is buying some "christmas shoes" for his mama. Robert and Nathan are ready to check out, and Nathan is in front of Robert. When it is Nathan's turn, he puts $4.50 on the counter, when the shoes cost $14.25. He asked the cashier, "Can I bring the rest tomorrow?"(P. 90).When he said this the cashier said no. He was heart-broken and turned around said to Robert, "Sir, I need to buy those shoes for my mother. She's not been feeling good, and when we were eating dinner my dad said that mama might leave to see Jesus tonight. I want her to look beautiful when she meets Jesus"(P. 90 & 91). He immediately pulled out a fifty-dollar bill and gave it to Nathan. "Thank you,' was all he said""

"I read this book on Christmas night when I got it. Great book. It really aids in remembering what Christmas is all about. Page turner and a tear jerker. I literally had to "read it with a box of tissues"."

"So sad made me cry but so sweet"

"I've only read the first few on the series so far but really enjoyed this one. You?"
