Good morning y'all!! It's cold, gloomy, and wet here today but inside I'm cozy in one of my favorite sweaters, listening to Christmas music, with the tree and indoor lights on ready to enjoy a good book!

*Book
Description*
Hunter Clarke cannot believe his mother would do this to him. He expected it from his father...he's always loved his brother more...but his mother shipping him off for Christmas to live with a bunch of hillbillies in the woods hunting ducks? When things go from bad to worse Hunter is more and more confused by this seemingly "happy-go-luck-nothing-can-go-wrong-family" his mom has found in the woods. Nothing prepares him for what he will find...
Korie Robertson is a little worried that they might be in over their heads on this one. Hunter has been nothing but sulky and angry since he's gotten here and every one is waiting with bated breath as to what will transpire between him and Phil Robertson. The man would not take kindly to Hunter's long lasting attitude and would surely try to straighten it out. She's tried everything she can think of...or has she? Will they make it through the season in one piece with one mess after the other?
*What I liked*
While this may not be the "Love story of the century" (This isn't a romance book anyway) it really sports a different kind of love. Unconditional love. After everything Hunter had gone through with his parents' divorce, he desperately needed help and he got it. In the form of a wonderful blessing. A family that truly cared about his family. About his situation. About him. Not only that but they showed him his family cared and, more importantly, God cared. Add in a bit of humor and you have a lovely book! Also, I LOVE to cook/ bake so the little tidbits from Miss Kay had me drooling!! Oh, did I mention this book is HARDCOVER?!
*What I didn't
like*
It was too short!!
*My Rating*
*Why my rating
is what it is*
My rating is 4 stars because it is a really good book but some people like to read books that are decisively ficton or non-fiction and this one's both! The best of both worlds in my opinion but not every one feels the same. It was also too short for the reader side of me...I wanted more!! Still, it's a wonderful book for both kids and adults. I've read other reviews from numerous people saying it helped them with their own teens. :)
