A reader/ Modesto, Ca
It's an inspiring book that makes you think twice about things that happen in your life that may seem like bad things at the time, but may have a greater purpose. It's a book along the lines of Frosty the Snowman and Roudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I think it's destined to be a classic. The author is adept at making you feel the hurt of Christmas trees, it's an odd thing to think about but in the book it seems only natural. I highly recommend this book to anyone, it's one that I would read to my kids year after year in front of the fireplace on Christmas eve.

" This story is heart warming, loving and inspirational. It shows how God has a plan in mind for all of us. This novel is wonderful for both young and old. It will give you a new outlook on life. It will make you think the next time you choose a Christmas Tree. Will it be a Douglas or a Fraser? We personally called ours Douglas. He was a strong and mighty tree that stood tall and full. We had a grand Christmas that season. This novel also, says so much about the author the lovely Lisa Lynn Ivey. Her love for her children, her husband and the Lord Jesus Christ "
