A McKETTRICK CHRISTMAS
In 1896, Lizzie McKettrick is finally heading home to the
Triple M Ranch from the "normal" school for young women
she's been attending for the last two years. Only days
before Christmas, traveling via the train during a blizzard
are children, a soldier, a peddler named Nicholas
Christian, her hopeful future fiancé, Whitley Carson and
Dr. Morgan Shane, among other passengers.
The true meaning of Christmas reveals itself as the
passengers become family in surviving a derailment and
avalanche, which completely encompasses the train. With
Lizzie's strong family upbringing and constitution she and
Morgan take charge for everyone's survival having the faith
that Lizzie's devoted and loving family will risk all to
save them.
A CREED COUNTRY CHRISTMAS
Julianna Mitchell, teacher at an Indian School in Montana,
has been left to fend for herself along with four of her
wards when the school is suddenly closed. Her brother Clay,
refusing Julianna her inheritance, leaves her with no means
of survival during the rugged winter and no shelter.
Widower Lincoln Creed comes to the rescue and gives shelter
at his ranch house until a solution can be found. His young
daughter, Gracie, is delighted. A more permanent solution
becomes available for Julianna as Christmas nears and love
finally comes to her. A threat of losing the small Indian
children she has come to love invades her happiness.
Both stories are full of hope and miracles of the Christmas
season. I loved the warm and fuzzy feelings projected
throughout the most wonderful holiday of the year. The best
is brought out in every character and makes this a time for
renewal. The heroines in both stories are exceptionally
strong-willed, but warm and loving women seeking happiness
for everyone.
Lizzie McKettrick is on a homebound train with a Christmas
Eve surprise for her family—a special young man, Whitley
Carson. He might seem a little too interested in the
McKettrick money, but Lizzie's certain Whitley cares for
her deep down. But fate has a surprise for Lizzie—Dr.
Morgan Shane. When their train is stranded by a massive
avalanche on Christmas Eve the handsome doctor takes charge—
with Lizzie by his side. Time's running out for the
passengers. But with faith, hard work and some unexpected
help, it just might be a joyous McKettrick family Christmas
after all...
A Creed Country Christmas
In the Montana wilderness of 1910, Lincoln Creed is up
against more than rustlers, wolves and winter storms. His
young daughter, Gracie, has needs beyond the beans and
bacon he can barely cook. The widowed rancher must find
Gracie a suitable governess who won't set her sights on
him. Disowned for her refusal to marry, the young
schoolteacher Juliana Mitchell seems like a perfect fit in
the Creed home. As she gets to know Lincoln and Gracie,
Juliana suddenly doesn't feel so strongly against marriage
after all. In the season of miracles, Providence just might
find a way to bring these souls together in a wonderful
Christmas blessing.
