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.
