A Christmas Puppy To Cherish

Written by Josie Riviera

Narrated by Allyson Voller

You don’t need ears to hear God’s plan. All you need is an open heart…

Music of both birds and harmonicas fills Max’s life, but it’s the near-silent forest guide he meets in Cherish, SC, who captures his attention. Small and slim, pretty Sarah’s smiles and graceful hands speak louder than her voice. In fact, she’s so quiet, he's not sure he’s made much of an impression. But with her, he can imagine making this temporary stopover into something permanent.

Sarah has found a comfortable niche in Cherish, working miracles with plants, arranging flowers for church, and taking in stray animals. In fact, her house is so full, she’s not sure she can say yes to the Sheriff’s plea to take in one more puppy for Christmas.

Max has definitely captured her interest, and he shares her love of nature. But maybe she should take in that puppy after all, because a ball of fur that needs her will fill the empty space in her heart when Max's research sends him off looking for bluer skies.

A Christmas Puppy to Cherish by Josie RivieraStory starts out with Max and he's returned after 30 years to stay in Cherish for a month til his job starts after the holidays.He has a lot of past to deal with having grown up in foster homes, some good but most bad ones.He heads to music store and is able to buy a replacement harmonica and after speaking to the shop owner he is looking for a guide hiking to show him the sights.She knows Sarah will be the perfect one as she also loves to hike and be outside-he runs the flower shop there.They get along just fine, having so many of the same things in common. Love the bear and how she wards off an attack while they are hiking.Love hearing about all the animals, birds, dogs, etc throughout the book as well as proverbs quoted and scriptures.Sarah is holding a medical secret to herself and I love the Christmas gift she gives herself and others in turn.Lack of communication will not allow them to stay together.... Amazing what one puppy can do.Love hiking ornament, so precious!I received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
