A review by mistysbookspace
The Christmas Shoes by Donna VanLiere

4.0

 This is another one that I picked up because it was such a short read. I have also really loved the song. I never actually knew it was a book. I know there's a movie but I don't think I've ever seen it but I would like to watch it. As for the book, it is heartbreaking. We follow 2 families both of which are struggling to stay together for two completely different reasons. They live in the same small town and end up helping each other without knowing it. As I said this book is heartbreaking. I listened to it one night after everyone went to bed and I'm surprised I didn't wake my husband up because I was sniffling like crazy because I was crying so much. While it will definitely pull at your heartstrings there are also lessons to be learned while reading it. I will for sure be continuing on in the series next year.
