Turkey in the Snow

Turkey in the SnowTurkey in the Snow by Amy Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A really heartwarming story about Hank who is trying to make a home for his niece after his flighty sister takes off leaving the little girl behind. Struggling to cope with work, social workers, and Josie's pain at her mother's sudden absence is difficult, so he releases his stress and raging emotions by working out at a gym where Justin works. Justin who is bright, funny, warm and full of 'exuberance' or what Hank considers a total drama queen.

Drama that Hank can really do without. But Hank starts to change his mind when, after Justin asks to take Josie to see Santa and allow Hank the chance to get Josie's room ready, they start talking. Little by little as they spend more and more time together, Hank discovers that he's very partial to Justin's kind of drama after all.

I loved this story, it's Amy Lane, so yeah definitely a good one. Justin is all kinds of wonderful 'flair', Josie makes me want to give her a big hug, and Hank just makes me want to cuddle up to him-he's a rock. A stable, dependable, and wonderful rock darn it! Then there was Kaden-the 8yr. old Justin spoke about-I just had this huge grin on my face wondering how he and the Kid (BOatK) would fare together. :D
