Ms. Miller captures our hearts once again, telling us the
story of how it all began in the early 1900s with the Creed
forefathers and the legacy they established for future
generations.
We are taken back to 1910 and the town of Stillwater
Springs, the home of Lincoln Creed. Lincoln is a widower
raising a young daughter the best he knows how. He has a
heart full of love for her but is short on knowing what a
young girl needs. He has advertised for a governess, a
housekeeper and, as a last resort, a wife. He loved his
first wife so dearly and can't imagine ever loving like
that again.
It is in Willand's Mercantile that Lincoln first meets
Juliana Mitchell. On that fateful day, their lives are
changed forever.
Juliana has been disowned by her wealthy brother for not
marrying his business partner and for taking a teaching job
at the Indian School, her home for the past two years. The
under-funded school has closed and Juliana, along with a
few of the children, is homeless and not knowing what to
do.
Since Lincoln needs a teacher/governess for his daughter,
he offers Juliana the position. She gladly accepts but not
without a few trepidations. There is a spark, an
attraction, between them that neither of them wants to
admit but both of them feel. They don't plan to lose their
hearts to one another, but Christmas is getting close, a
time of joy and miracles and the angels are singing.
A CREED COUNTRY CHRISTMAS is an absolutely charming story.
It has a tender message, and the characters stay with you
long after the last page is turned. A CREED COUNTRY
CHRISTMAS is chock full of love and hope, compassion and
forgiveness. It is the perfect story for a quiet evening in
front of a fire as the holidays quickly approach. It is a
warm and wonderful journey of the heart.
In the unforgiving wilderness of 1910, widowed rancher
Lincoln Creed is up against more than rustlers, wolves and
the coming winter storms. His young daughter has needs
beyond the beans and bacon he can barely cook. Lincoln must
find little Gracie a governess, a lady who can teach and
cook-and yet won't set her sights on him.
Disowned for her refusal to marry, twenty-five-year-old
Juliana Mitchell shares the love in her heart with her young
students at the underfunded Indian school. When she meets
Lincoln and Gracie, her response to the handsome rancher
makes her realize she's not against marriage after all.
The season of miracles just might find a way for Juliana,
the children, Lincoln and Gracie to help each other.
