Christmas with Tucker / Gregory Kinkaid / 180 pages / Winter Holiday Themed Book
It is Christmas, 1962 and one of the worst snow and ice storms to hit Kansas has knocked out utilities and emergency services. Bo McCray and his wife do not need additional grief. Bo, the county road maintainer whose job it is to keep ihe roads clean, is already having difficulty coping with the death of his son, John. John's 13 year old son, George, stayed behind on the family farm when his mom and sisters moved. He, too, is struggling with his dad's death. When a neighbor does a stint in the county jail and his dog, Tucker, comes to live with the McCrays, George begins to deal with his grief and to take steps to become a man.
