I recently read Return
to Christmas by Kathi Macias. I got
this book from Netgalley and I am not being paid for this review.
I really enjoyed this book, which brought home the struggles
that many military veterans face. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is
something the main character struggles with and tries to hide. Since he came
home, Chet is having a hard time dealing with his life, looking for employment,
and relationships.
This book would be appropriate for high school students and
even open up a lot of discussion about PTSD. There may be some students who
have family members dealing with this and may help them understand it better.
It would be a great topic for further research and discussion in the classroom.
I would recommend this for a classroom bookshelf or in the
school library.
