Product Description
Sometimes, the things that can change your life will cross your path in one instant-and then, in a fleeting moment, they're gone. But if you open your eyes, and watch carefully, you will believe . Robert is a successful attorney who has everything in life-and nothing at all. Focused on professional achievement and material rewards, Robert is on the brink of losing his marriage. He has lost sight of his wife, Kate, their two daughters, and ultimately himself. Eight year old Nathan has a beloved mother, Maggie, whom he is losing to cancer. But Nathan and his family are building a simple yet full life, and struggling to hold onto every moment they have together. A chance meeting on Christmas Even brings Robert and Nathan together-he is shopping for a family he hardly knows and Nathan is shopping for a mother he is soon to lose. In this one encounter, their lives are forever altered as Robert learns an important lesson: sometimes the smallest things can make all the difference. The Christmas Shoes is a universal story of the deeper meaning of serendipity, a tale of our shared humanity, and of how a power greater than ourselves can shape, and even save, our lives.

 The Best December 31, 2008
Patty (California)
This book and the rest of the series are easy reads and heart-felt stories of lessons we should all learn, not just at Christmas but every day.
The stories are simple but completely inspiring of how we should live and treat people every day. Miracles can happen even in moments of sadness.
I totally recommend this books and the others in this series.
I cry every time December 29, 2008
Christina Glass (Michigan)
I am not real weepy as a rule but every time I read this book I sob through the end. Yet, even though I hate to cry I come back to it year after year to read as I get ready for Christmas. It is an awesome story that is incredibly well written. Not to mention if you have ever heard the song you know what happens.
WOW! December 29, 2008
P. Woods (Hemet, CA)
This book is one that you won't want to put down once you start. Every year I look forward to my Christmas shopping because I know I will be able to buy the next in the series of the Christmas Hope and the Christmas Shoes is how it all began. These books are hopeful, encouraging and inspiring all in one. You can laugh, cry & be happy through out a single book & not be ashamed of what your reading! I highly recommend the series to anyone looking for a book either as a gift or for themselves.

The Christmas Shoes is a well written lovely book. I enjoyed it so very much, and I hope you do too. Donna VanLiere does a great job writing. She really brings out the characters, and makes them truly alive.

Watch out this book is very touching. What a wonderful Christmas story though. Two families lives are touched forever, but they don't even know it.
I am sure other reviewers covered everything about the book, so I won't go into details but this book touched my heart and I will carry its message with me for a long time.
This author def knows her writing!
