Home for the Holidays

Tumwater, Washington, in 1888, is home to Anna Wilkin. She can't imagine living anywhere else. Overshadowed by her "perfect" sister, Anna craves acceptance. To please Papa, she agrees to go east to finishing school although she'd rather stay near her beloved woods ... and become better acquainted with a certain young logger she calls Tuck. After the fire that took his parents and little sister, Jeremiah Tucker is afraid to share his heart. Yet more than anything, he wants a home of his own. Falling in love with a tomboy like Anna takes him by surprise. Her sister would make a better wife and be less risk to his heart. If only he could stop thinking about Anna.

Home for the Holidays is a clean and wholesome story set against the backdrop of the Christmas holidays in the historic Washington Territory. Home for the Holidays joins Lesson of the Poinsettia, also by Mildred Colvin, as a lighthearted read of Christmas and faith-filled love.
