A Miracle For Christmas by Charmaine Pauls
Michael Slanders is an everyday kinda bloke. He loves children and he loves to help out
people when he can and at times even when he cannot. This is awarded with him being sacked from
work a week before Christmas and he has to explain to his dying mother why they
will be losing the house she lived in her entire grown life. It also leads him to make a new friend. Scruffy an Africana dog with a keen sense and
a heart as big as the hole in Kimberley.
Why the reference to Kimberley? The book is set in
Johannesburg, South Africa and it made me proud to read such a well crafted
story set in my very own back yard. The
author might live abroad but she has not forgotten boerewors or a good braai
aka barbeque.
Ok so this is a short novella or novelette. It is a feel good story with an amazing twist
and turn that brings Mike to what he needs and not what he wants and all this
with the help of one little scruffy mutt that he fed with the last of the money
he had!
As far as Christmas stories goes this is a must read. It has no overtly spiritual connotation in its
stead it is filled with good morals and a road map of how to live life to serve
others and not yourself. That in itself
brings Mike to many a glorious find although he knows no other way of living so
for him it is not a cosmic reward system in the working it is the way of
things.
A really nice, sweet fast read and a must read for any dog
lover, Christmas time lover, people lover and feel good feeling lover.
A
