A wounded warrior and his younger brother discover the true meaning of Christmas in this timeless story of family bonds.
As far as ten-year-old Miller McClellan is concerned, it’s the worst Christmas ever. His father’s shrimp boat is docked, his mother is working two jobs, and with finances strained, Miller is told they can’t afford the dog he desperately wants. “Your brother’s return from war is our family’s gift,” his parents tell him. But when Taylor returns with PTSD, family strains darken the holidays.
Then Taylor’s service dog arrives—a large black Labrador/Great Dane named Thor. His brother even got the dog! When Miller goes out on Christmas Eve with his father’s axe, determined to get his family the tree they can't afford, he takes the dog for company—but accidentally winds up lost in the wild forest. The splintered family must come together to rediscover their strengths, family bond, and the true meaning of Christmas.

Review
“Mary Alice has woven a lovely and memorable tale about a veteran with PTSD and his service dog. You’ll be swept up into the moment and uplifted in beautiful ways.”
(Luis Carlos Montalván, New York Times Bestselling Author of Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him )
“Mary Alice Monroe, you are deeply gifted. You made A Lowcountry Christmas informative. You made it impactful. You made it safe to read. Taylor’s dance with suicide was a place not easily entered. Miller seemed to pave the way for one to enter… Your setting didn’t skirt the issue, nor did it set off PTSD triggers. You raised awareness. Thank you for lifting the veil for all your readers.”
(Joan Mehew, Dolphin Research Center, Recipient of the 2013 Wounded Warrior Project “Carry It Forward” Award )

Mary Alice NEVER disappoints. Must read - it's not just for the holidays!
By KN
Mary Alice doesn't disappoint in this continuation of her Lowcountry Summer series. Spending time on Jeremy Creek in McClellanville this past summer enabled me to see so clearly every path, road, home, shop and the restaurant she writes about in the book.
A Lowcountry Christmas is based on Taylor McClellan whom we met earlier in the Lowcountry Summer series. Taylor is now married to Harper, and they have a daughter, Marietta and his Lab/Great Dane dog, Thor. The book begins on Christmas Eve 2015 with Taylor, so happy with his young family. He reflects on the holiday season five years prior when he returned home from Afghanistan, wounded and the sole survivor of the platoon he led and whose Humvee was hit by an IED while patrolling the desert and defending the border. Taylor not only had terrible physical wounds, but moreover PTSD. He is given a therapy dog by a Pets for Vets in hopes of helping him cope with repercussions of the horror of what happened in the desert. This story is how an unbreakable bond of love and trust between a man and his dog can be one of the greatest healing powers.
Beautifully written, this book tells a story from the eyes of Taylor, his 10 year old brother, Miller and their mother, Jenny. This is a story that takes a long overdue and realistic first, second and third person look at the effects of PTSD. We see and feel, first hand, what Taylor (and his family) goes through every day - things that "we" typically are not affected by, such as a car that backfires on the street - and the effect on someone who is suffering PTSD. We see the struggle of a Taylor's dad, Alistair, a lifelong shrimper who has no other option but to take his boat, the Miss Jenny (named for his wife) out of commission because he and his fellow shrimpers can't compete with the importers' lower prices. He's now working any job he can find just to make ends meet.
This heartwarming book is the story of how a service dog not only brings a Marine back to life, but unites a family torn by the stresses of keeping a family afloat amidst uncertain financial times and the precarious future of an industry in need of a boost. Mary Alice reminds us that, at the end of the day, family is most important.
I love reading Mary Alice Monroe, not only because she's a gifted writer, but because of her ongoing dedication to the conservation of this earth and the creatures on it - and now to her commitment to the preservation of those who have fought tirelessly for freedom - many whom have returned scarred, both emotionally and physically, and have been pushed aside or out and forgotten. #WoundedWarriors #PetsForVets #SCShrimpers

Fantastic !!!
By reader
I have always enjoyed Mary Alice Monroe's books, but this one tops them all !
It was beautifully and sensitively written.
I laughed... I cried.... I cried some more...... all happy tears.
I have a friend in her 30s who served in Afghanistan and recently received her own service dog. I have discussed this book with her niece and feel very comfortable passing this book on to her aunt.
Who would not love each of the characters?
The Epilogue was a wonderful ending to this touching story.
I highly recommend this book.

Another fantastic book from Mary Alice Monroe
By Susan S Beebe
Another amazing read from my favorite author. Mary Alice combines family dynamics, PTSD, service dogs, the plight of the shrimpers along our eastern coast, and Christmas all in one fantastic read. You will laugh, cry, and at some level relate to this family. This is not just a Christmas book, but one you will read and treasure every season, but especially now as the holidays approach.
