On Christmas Eve an elderly man aches for his deceased wife. He longs to place a star at the top of the Christmas tree with her. Each year she would remind him how there is always hope. He sees no hope this Christmas. Hearing a noise in the winter storm, the man endures the frigid evening. On the edge of his property he discovers a mare lying in the snow. Gently he leads her into his old barn. Christmas morning brings a surprise and . . .hope.
The illustrations are beautiful and evoke the senses.
*Highly recommend. A gentle, sweet story.
-Borrowed from the library. I would like to buy this one sometime.
