Love Came Down At Christmas 2 Karen Anna Vogel

Can the love of God that came down at Christmas heal all? Cure all? Lexi believes this with all her heart. Lexi Remington, the twelve-year-old foster child readers worldwide adored in Love Came Down at Christmas, received a new name: Lexi Stotler. Yes, her Christmas wish to be adopted came true. Now, at thirteen, her Christmas wish is to see Mr. Fraudburg be transformed like Mr. Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. So, Lexi brings a stray dog to Mr. Fraudburg. After all, don't dogs calm a soul down? His son, Adam, asks little of his father, but instantly loves this dog...and asks, pleads, to keep him. The more Adam pushes to keep the dog, Mr. Fraudburg becomes more miserly and despicable. He knows he needs help when his wife, son, and church members shy away from him. But Lexi sees through his tough, rough exterior. She was like that once, too. Lexi enlists the aid of Emma Yoder, an elderly Amish woman. Emma still helps Lexi let love in, and surely she can do the same for Mr. Fraudburg. By Christmas Day, Lexi wonders if her obsession with A Christmas Carol is being played out right before her. Not in Victorian England, but Smicksburg, Pennsylvania.
