GREG KINCAID lives on a farm in eastern Kansas with his wife, two cats, and two dogs, including Rudy, adopted from a local shelter. When not writing, he is a practicing lawyer and pet-adoption advocate.
"With Christmas With Tucker, Greg Kincaid has written a solid,
earnest holiday tale about hard work, family and the importance of
a good dog." -Washington Post "In this prequel to A Dog Named
Christmas, Kincaid spins an immensely satisfying coming-of-age tale
about how 12-year-old George McCray, mourning his father's recent
death from a tractor accident, finds solace in befriending a
neglected Irish setter named Tucker...Although I am well aware that
Christmas titles flood bookstores each December 1, I also know that
Christmas with Tucker, along with the author's earlier novel,
should rise above the literary tinsel and glitz to become a holiday
classic. "
-Best Friends "This simple but strong story celebrates the beauty
of everyday things, the power of love and humility, the singular
grace that is a good dog, and the mysterious ability of that grace
to transform the human heart. A perfect Christmas read." - Dean
Koontz "I don't own a dog - but after reading this book, I have an
irresistible urge to go out and get one. Christmas with Tucker is
simply that poignant and lovely." - A. J. Jacobs "It was the
bleakest of Christmas seasons that year: blizzards followed by ice
paralyzed the entire county. No one would have blamed the
thirteen-year-old boy for taking the easy way out, or expected the
aged grandfather to single-handedly pull off a miracle. Stirred
into author Greg Kincaid's wondrous crucible are an empathetic
grandmother, a sorrowing mother, a shy earliteen girl, a sodden
alcoholic neighbor-oh yes, and an Irish setter named Tucker, with a
heart filled with love for all of them. Taken all together: a
Christmas story for the ages!" - Joseph Wheeler, Editor/Compiler of
the bestselling Christmas in My Heart story anthologies
