This was a short but sweet story about a little boy who lost his faith for Santa. With the help of his sweet little sister he just might be able to believe again.
I would definately recommend this book if you are looking for a nice quick read!

This is a lovely sequel to Second Chances. We catch up with Carter and Kenzie several years down the road, in the days leading up to Christmas.
Peyton is an adorable five-year-old, although her penchant for waking up well before dawn can be rather tiresome. But maybe that’s my reaction as a person without children ;)
Brady is a typical almost-nine-year-old, who gets annoyed by his little sister, but loves her all the same.
When the young family experiences a crisis of faith, little Peyton comes to the rescue in the sweetest of ways. I will leave this review short and sweet, so as to not give away any spoilers, but let me tell you that magic is in the air this holiday season!
This novella is heartwarming, and a definite holiday recommendation.

Santa is real!
This was a wonderful heartwarming story of the miracle shown through the magic of Santa Claus. Carter’s son, Brady, didn’t believe that there really was a Santa & Carter was saddened that he wanted Brady to be a little kid for a while longer to believe. Payton, Carter & Kenzie’s daughter, still believed in Santa & wanted Brady to believe. Brady was born on Christmas. Then a miracle occurred.
I don’t tend to read Fairytales but I was really moved by this one & will read other books by Tami Franklin.

An adorable read reminding us of the beauty of the season. When his little sister makes it her job to ensure her brothers belief in Santa stands another year, the entire family gets a reminder and another year to enjoy the innocence of children. A short cute read that reminds us all of the miracles and beauty of the season and family love.

Their story was written into a book, then a hit movie. No one but the family knows it’s a true story. Their 9 year old is not believing in Santa or the idea of just having faith, what can they do to help him. His sister believes Santa will give him the gift of faith and belief!

I was so happy when this book came out for I loved The first book Second Chances. This is such a sweet read, 9 years have past Carter Reed learned about love, loss & second chances. It’s Christmas time again Carter wants to find a way for his children not to loose the magic of Christmas & a little girls wish & letter to Santa could bring the spirit & magic back for all

A wonderful short visit to Carter, Kenzie, Brady and Peyton almost a decade after when Second Chances leaves off. A great story of the little miracles that can happen if you just choose to believe. My only complaint was I want more! I hope we get to see more of this lovable little family.

Sweet
Not having read the first book, am not sure if it would make more sense of this story. However, it was a sweet read. Am certain every parent would identify with the ending sentiments. Believing can hinge on storage things at times.
