The Fireside Chats

I finished reading this just now and thought I’d share. As an animal lover myself, I really enjoyed this book. There were lots of ups and downs in this book…..enough to keep me engaged in the book and I couldn’t put it down. I am surprised that they hadn’t made this into a movie already. I think it would do well as a movie. {Note: This book is intended for children but I think this would be a good book for parents to read with their children though.}

Synopsis: For years people have claimed to see a mysterious white deer in the woods around Chinaberry Creek. One evening, Eric Harper thinks he spots it. But a deer doesn’t have a coat that shimmers like a pearl, or an ivory horn curling from its forehead. When Eric discovers the unicorn is hurt and being taken care of by the vet next door and her daughter, Allegra, his life is transformed. He’s thrust into a world of magical creatures just as his world at home starts to crumble. A tender tale of love, loss, and the connections we make, The Unicorn in the Barn shows us that sometimes ordinary life can take extraordinary turns.
