A wounded warrior and his younger brother discover the true meaning of Christmas in this timeless story of family bonds. A poignant continuation of the Lowcountry Summer series.

As far as 10-year-old Miller McClellan is concerned, it's the worst Christmas ever. His father's shrimp boat is docked, his mother is working two jobs, and with finances strained, Miller is told, they can't afford the dog he desperately wants. "Your brother's return from war is our family's gift," his parents tell him. But when Taylor returns with PTSD, family strains darken the holidays. 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 ax, 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. The splintered family must come together to rediscover their strengths, their family bond, and the true meaning of Christmas.

Would you listen to A Lowcountry Christmas again? Why?

Yes, Monroe did a fine job with the narration of her novel. I can see myself reading this book (or listening) every Christmas season. It's a lovely story about a family facing the challenges of a new normal and finding the true meaning of Christmas.

What did you like best about this story?

The transformation of son Taylor when a dog named Thor comes into his life.

What does Mary Alice Monroe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I imagine she paced her narration the way she heard her characters when she wrote the novel. Not every author is the right narrator but I thought Monroe was for her novel.

If you could take any character from A Lowcountry Christmas out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I'd take Thor's trainer out to dinner. What she did was a great gift for one who has given so much. I'd like to learn more.

Any additional comments?

Recommended to anyone looking for good novel with a Christmas theme.

I say you might be disappointed in this book because only the epilog is about the girls, barely. The title is deceiving because you feel that this is going to be about a Christmas involving all 3 of the summer girls , Which it is not. The story is good but not what was expected!!

It's good but you may be disappointed.

Beautiful story for Christmas Season

A wonderful book opening our eyes to an awful illness of our precious service men and women We appreciate their service our country and should do on part to help as we can. Anyone suffering with this illness will hopefully ask for a service dog it could make a difference for these men and and women to live a full and happy life This author has written a tribute to all that suffer and will hopefully help them and their families. If it reaches even one to help someone find happiness

A great story of hope.

The story was ok. Way too sentimental and maudlin for my taste, but I can see where others might like it. Wished a man had narrated...having the author read the male characters just didn't work.

A bit over the top

Be aware that this isn’t a book about “the girls” but the story of Taylor and PTSD. It was another winner from the author

This was a heartwarming story of family struggles & how love & forgiveness heals wounds of many kind. I found the story of a Marine's PTSD & his difficulty adjusting to returning home very interesting & moving. I enjoyed the dogs in the story & the roles they played in healing. The characters came alive & felt like close friends in each book in this series. I can't wait to read more books by this author.
