마티가 술주정뱅이 져드씨로부터 샤일로를 구한지 1년이 지났습니다. 이제 크리스마스가 다가오는데, 마을에는 사랑과 기쁨의 분위기 대신에 의심과 비난과 분노가 퍼져 있습니다. 지난 여름에 숲 속에서 발생한 산불로 많은 주민들이 집을 잃었으며 져드씨도 집이 불에 타고 기르던 개들도 행방불명이 되었는데, 사람들은 이 화재가 평상시 행실이 좋지 않았던 져드씨의 소행으로 의심을 했습니다. 더군다나 새로 온 목사는 주민들의 져드씨에 대한 이런 의심과 분노를 확산시켰지요. 마티는 목사가 불과 유황을 좋아하고, 그의 딸들은 항상 겁에 질려있는 것을 보고는 의심을 품게 되고, 크리스마스의 기적과 같은 답을 찾게 됩니다...

Book Description
A rescued beagle and his boy owner seek love and understanding for their troubled small town in this holiday companion to the Newbery Medal–winning Shiloh, from Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.
Christmas is coming and Marty and his rescued pup Shiloh are sure glad about that—for their town is running low on love and understanding and they hope that the joy of the holiday will bring with it the generosity of spirit that’s so lacking.
It’s been a year since Marty Preston rescued Shiloh from Judd Travers and his cruel ways, and since then, Marty and Shiloh have been inseparable. Anywhere Marty goes, the beagle’s at his side, and Marty couldn’t be happier about that. Even Judd has been working to improve his reputation.
But just as the townsfolk grow more accepting of Judd, a fire in the woods destroys many homes, including Judd’s, and Judd’s newly formed reputation. Doubt, blame, and anger spread faster than the flames—flames that are fanned by the new minister, who seems fonder of fire and brimstone than love and mercy. And why are his daughters so skittish around him? And what’s happened to Judd’s dogs? With Christmas right around the corner, Marty has a lot of questions, and getting the right answers might just take a Christmas miracle.
School Library Journal
After nearly 18 years, the beloved Shiloh trilogy becomes a quartet. Fans of the first books will find comfort and similarity in the continuing saga of 12-year-old Marty, his rambunctious beagle, and his family in their rural West Virginia community. The book is set mostly in midsummer during one of the worst droughts on record, and residents are quick to accuse Judd Travers of setting a fire that burns several homes, including his own. Marty's parents reach out to Judd, Shiloh's former abusive owner, offering him shelter while he rebuilds his life and searches for his missing dogs. Meanwhile, Marty and his family grapple with difficult decisions when they suspect the new pastor of abusing his daughters. This is not so much a Christmas story as it is a book about tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness, and recognizing one's own moral compass. In response to Marty's many philosophical questions, his loving and supportive parents offer realistic guidance, advice, and discipline. As expected, Shiloh the dog plays a pivotal role in bringing about a happy resolution for Judd and Marty. VERDICT Though it stands well on its own, A Shiloh Christmas will most appeal to those already familiar with the previous titles.
