This book proved to be an excellent read. All three stories are good, heartwarming stories well worth the time taken to read them. Lindsay McKenna's "Snowflake's Gift" is about a veteran that has returned from active duty with his WMD dog. Trying to acclimate to civilian life is hard and Nick's PTSD makes it that much trickier. If it wasn't for his canine companion he'd have a much harder time. He agrees to help Holly McGuire deliver meals to shut ins in exchange for an apartment in a complex she manages. This is a warm, touching story of two people trying to get their lives in order and how, with the help of one very special dog, many lives are changed.
In J.M. Madden's "S'EAL's Christmas Dream" we get to visit Joe Flynn and his veterinarian wife, Willow, along with Joe's dog, Maya. For those of you who are fans of Ms. Madden, these characters are from an earlier novella, but you can read this story and not be lost even if you haven't read the earlier book. Joe and Willow have a new baby to deal with along with a malnourished, skiddish stray dog they are trying to help. Oh, and did I mention the young man hanging around with a dog of his own that need assistance. This is a very busy story, but one that is well written and filled with twists and turns I think you'll love.
Last, but not least, KaLyn Cooper's "Noel's Puppy Power" brings us Tanner Hill, who runs a kennel and trains service dogs for vets with PTSD, and Dr. Bailey Conrad, a psychologist and veteran who lost part of her leg from an IED in Iraq. She helps him find the right veteran for his dogs. This is a sweet story of how they find the courage to trust their feelings and take a chance on each other. We get to see the ladies of the Black Swan from Ms. Cooper's newest series and it's interesting to see how Tanner recognized their stress and worked to help them as well as Bailey.
