Book Description

December 4, 2009
Book Two of the Courage, Love and the Meaning of Christmas trilogy. Book one (Courage, Love and the Meaning of Christmas) revealed the meaning of life through an engaging story full of adventure and romance. Book two poses and answers the question of whether people can really change inside, whether the deepest wounds can ever heal, whether life can rise above the mediocre, and whether impossible dreams can come true. This year, it's Ski's turn for a miracle. But when the miracle comes, will he accept it? Can he grasp the truth while there's still time? And what about Spencer? When the truth comes knocking, will he pay attention? Many dreams came true for him over the past year, but that doesn't mean they can't fall apart. The story picks up a year after book one, but it doesn't start out the way you probably expected. Much has changed over the last year, but nearly as much as is about to! You'll never guess the plot twists that will keep you glued to the pages until you finish.

More About the Author

Shaun Roundy's cv reads like a character from an action-adventure movie. Alongside writing half a dozen books in various styles, he has taught writing to thousands of university students, climbed 18,000' mountains, sailed 2,500 miles through two oceans, speaks half a dozen languages, lived on four continents and a tropical island, saved dozens of lives as a member of an active volunteer Search and Rescue team, chaired the Mountain Rescue Association's Intermountain Region, appeared in the Discovery Channel's "Raging Planet - Blizzards" and KUED's award-winning "Secrets of the Lost Canyon", along with many appearances on the evening news. The list goes on and on.

As a writer, he seeks primarily to entertain and inspire. "The best thing about writing is hearing that my readers stayed up all night reading because they couldn't stop, or laughed or shouted out loud, or that the plot caught them totally by surprise, or that they related to some character or insight that changed their life."

I really enjoyed reading The Perfect Gift. Shaun is a talented author who does a great job! I highly recommend this book to readers. I loved a poem called, The Darkest Hour that is part of the story & also I'm hooked for the upcoming sequel. Lots of different things going on throughout the book. There is romance as well as evolving friendships. You won't be sorry for this purchase!

I read this book and its sequel, The Perfect Gift, and found both to be thought provoking as well as entertaining. Spencer and Ski seem to be an unlikely pair to engage in friendship, but it works. Spencer has to fight through is insecurities to discover who he really is. That leads him to visit his grandmother earlier than planned and where he meets Annetta. He discovers that his friendship with Annetta brings out the best in him.

Through the course of the two books, Spencer and Ski both discover their best selves. But there are unreslolved issues with Annetta. I'm eager to read the last book in the trilogy.
