As far as ten-year-old Miller McClellan is concerned, it's the worst Christmas ever.

"Your brother's return from war is our family's gift," his parents tell him. But when Taylor returns with PTSD, the stress and strain darken the family. Then Taylor's service dog arrives--a large black Labrador/Great Dane named Thor. His brother even got the dog When Miller goes out on Christmas Eve with his father's axe, determined to get his family the tree they can't afford, he takes the dog for company--but accidentally winds up lost in the wild forest. In the midst of this emergency, the splintered family must come together and rediscover their strengths, family bond, and the true meaning of Christmas. |
