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. <p/> Then Taylor's service dog arrives--a large black Labrador/Great Dane named Thor. His brother even got the dog!

The splintered family must come together to rediscover their strengths, family bond, and the true meaning of Christmas. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "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." <p/> --Luis Carlos Montalván, New York Times Bestselling Author of Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him </br></br>"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." <p/> --Joan Mehew, Dolphin Research Center, Recipient of the 2013 Wounded Warrior Project "Carry It Forward" Award <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Mary Alice Monroe is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of more than twenty books, including the Beach House series: <i>The Beach House</i>, <i> Beach House Memories</i>, <i> Swimming Lessons</i>, <i> Beach House for Rent</i>, and <i>Beach House Reunion</i>.
