Goodreads Summary:
In The Christmas Shoes, young Nathan Andrews was a child who lost his mother to cancer. Now his deepest wish is to become a doctor. When a stranger named Robert gave him the money to buy his mother a pair of shoes for her last Christmas, both Robert and Nathan learned the deepest lessons of love and giving. Now a medical student in his third year, Nathan realizes there are still things to be learned about faith, blessings, and sacrifice. Lessons he will learn from Meghan Sullivan-a young woman born with a hole in her heart that has not kept her from becoming a champion runner. And lessons learned from a young boy named Charlie, who teaches how to live a life of true courage. Together, they will help guide Nathan through the darkest period in his life. The Christmas Blessing is an inspiring about hope existing in the darkest places, and love is always the greatest gift of all.

My Review:
Nathan is now in his residence years of becoming a Doctor and he is struggling with the reality that people will die under his care and if this is really what he wants to do for the rest of his life. In this book, he is following a heart doctor who is tough and with his added struggle of deciding if this is really what he wants he is frustrated and confused and a little lost. With a little help from a few patients, a heart to heart with some friends and his family he is able to make a decision and we even get to see him start a new life.
I'm not really sure whats going to happen in the next one with Nathan, but after this one, I can't wait to see what happens.
We also get to see Robert from the first one and he has a pretty big impact on Nathan and a few of his patients as well.
This book is a lot like a Hallmark or Lifetime movie, which are my favorite to watch during the holiday season. (yes they all end the same but I will sit there and watch every single one of them.) If you don't like those type of movies you might not like this book.
“Don’t ever take your EYES off the FINISH line. If you take your eyes off the GOAL, you’ll never make it to the END.”In The Christmas Shoes, we saw Nathan dealing with his mother dying and Robert who was in a failing marriage.
