Summary: Touching story!
Comment: I started this book late last night and got up VERY early to finish reading. It was just such a quick read and so sweet that I didn't want it to end.
As you know from the title it is a story that is set during some various holiday seasons over the years. There are actually two stories that are intertwining together. The narrator is a successful lawyer named Robert. Robert has used his success and money to buy his family's love and is coming the realization that money can't buy love. The other story that we see is the story of Nathan, a third grader, who's mom is dying of cancer. A chance meeting on Christmas Eve intertwines the lives of Robert and Nathan together in a meeting that will affect the rest of their lives. In this meeting Robert realizes that the smallest things in lives are what matters and sets out to change his outlook on life.
This is one of the first books that I have cried over in a long time and cry more than once I did. As a teacher I was just touched by the kindness that Nathan's teacher showed him and as a person I was touched by the kindness of others in the book.
I have never heard the song that this book is based on, but now I hope I get the chance to. I also hope that you get the chance to read this book. It is wonderful.

Summary: a true joy to read!
Comment: The Christmas Shoes was a wonderful Christmas story that shows how precious life is, and how time and love are the greatest gifts we can give.
This is the story of people focusing on what they think is important and that those whose focus is on family and friends are those who truley live a rich life, a life of no regrets. Those who focus on riches like career and finances to the detriment of family are never really fulfilled but continue to work endlessly to fill the unknown void in their lives. In The Christmas Shoes, peoples lives are changed by small acts of kindness that come back to them in unknown ways. This is a lovely tale, and yes it is a tear jerker, and this is meant in the most positive of ways. Truth is conveyed in a wonderful story and the beauty and honesty leads to a rush of emotion. This is a little book (129 fast pages!!) that is big on heart and soul, and a true joy to read!!

Summary: BETTER THAN THE SONG!!!
Comment: It doesn't need to be the holiday season to enjoy this gem of a book. I read it on the airplane and I can honestly tell you, I lied to my wife. I told her my allergies were bothering me. In reality the lovely words found in the The Christmas Shoes drove me to tears (lots of tears). The character development makes this book easy to read. The two story lines are simple to follow. The Christmas Shoes is a real page turner. The epilogue in this book is the best epilogue I've ever read. My wish is that Donna VanLiere would write more, I can't wait to read the sequal to The Christmas Shoes -- The Christmas Blessing. Bottom Line -- Read the Book (with a box of tissues)!!!!!!!!!!!
