Synopsis

Marty and Shiloh fight to preserve the spirit of Christmas in the wake of a wildfire and a divisive new preacher in the fourth book in the series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor that began with the Newbery Medal–winning perennial bestseller Shiloh.

It’s been a year since Marty Preston rescued Shiloh from Judd Travers and his formerly cruel ways, and since then, the boy and the dog have been inseparable. Anywhere Marty goes, the beagle is at his side, and Marty couldn’t be happier about it. And Judd has been working to improve his reputation.

But just as townsfolk grow more accepting of him, someone sets fire to the woods. Doubt, blame, and anger spread faster than the flames—fanned by the new minister, who seems fonder of hail and brimstone than love and mercy. And why are his daughters so skittish around him? And what happened to Judd’s other dog?

Marty has a lot of questions, and with the holidays right around the corner, getting answers might just take a Christmas miracle.

Goodreads review by Hilary "Fox" on February 05, 2019

The final book in the Shiloh quartet elaborates on the themes present in the previous few. While the first book focused primarily upon Marty and the dilemma of whether or not keeping an abused dog that ran away from his master is the right choice, the next two books focused upon that abusive master......more

Like the Waltons This book was a pleasant surprise. Her 1st book titled, Shiloh, was a new berry winner. But like the Waltons, when the book was finished, I miss the family.

Goodreads review by M.M. Strawberry on May 25, 2019

I had the feeling this book was going to be cheesy and... I was right. Mind you, I am not using this word in an insulting way. Some cheese can be good for some books, and since I read the previous three Shiloh books, when I heard of this one, I could not help but get curious. The author didn't need to......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on October 03, 2015

It's been years since I read Shiloh. In fact, I was probably in elementary school when I last read it. But the time span between having read Shiloh and reading A Shiloh Christmas did not at all affect my enjoyment of the book. It is a heart-warming holiday story about hope, family, holiday miracles,......more

Goodreads review by M.L. on December 08, 2020

The three original Shiloh books feel almost sacred to me, and I was afraid this would be bad. In actuality, though it had a slightly different feel and not as deep of a plot, it really was the same story. I’m amazed the author could dip back into that authentic voice after so many years. I love Mart......more
