Review: Kicking off the holidays with red shoes

I don't usually read Christmas stories until after Thanksgiving but it was too hard to resist this one sitting on my iPad tempting me with those shoes every time I opened the app. So I gave in and read it. And I'm glad I did. The story of Audrey and Mack and how her Louboutins and his dog bring them together for Christmas was the sweetest way I could have kicked off (pardon the shoe reference) the holiday season. Cary Frates has created two sympathetic characters who, alone on Christmas, find each other. Like Frates, I live in Washington State and I loved the references to Seattle and, especially, the Christmas ships, always one of my favorite parts of the holidays. I think I'll have to read this one again before the year's over. And every year afterward.
