Product Description
Betty Kowalski isn’t looking forward to the holidays. She just can’t seem to find Christmas in her heart.
These days when Betty looks out the window, she sees a beat-up truck, a pile of junk, lots of blue tarps, and–horror of horrors–an old pink toilet. But when a mangy dog appears at her doorstep, the stage is set for Betty to learn a very important lesson about what Christmas is all about.
This contemporary Christmas story is a timely yet gentle reminder that God can work miracles through something as seemingly insignificant as a little brown dog.
From the Inside Flap
A little before seven on Monday morning, Betty woke to the sound of someone trying to break into her house. At least that was what it sounded like to her. . . . It was that scruffy dog again. Jack Jones’s mongrel. The dog crouched down, whimpering, and despite Betty’s bitter feelings toward her neighbor, she felt a tinge of pity for the poor, dirty animal. And Betty didn’t even like dogs.
“Go home, you foolish thing,” she said. “Go bother your owner.” The dog just whined. Betty knelt down with the screen still between her and the dog. “Go home,” she said again. “Shoo!” But the dog didn’t budge. And now Betty didn’t know what to do.
