Once Upon A Christmas

Four nostalgic, heart-warming Christmas romances to curl up with and enjoy.

ANNIE'S LETTER: (prequel to Lantern In The Window)
1885--WIFE WANTED, OLDER WOMAN, MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF HOUSEWIFERY AND FARMING. OBJECT, MATRIMONY.
Annie answers Noah's newspaper ad for a mail-order wife because her deaf sister, Bets, was going to die if she went on working in Lazenby's Cotton Mill.

LANTERN IN THE WINDOW;
Annie, a young, desperate mail-order bride, who's never laid eyes on a cow, marries Noah, a farmer who advertises for an experienced, older farm woman. And she also doesn't mention that her deaf sister is part of the bargain.
But Noah isn't honest either. His old, sick father needs cared for--and even Noah can't deal with the old man's anger and violence.
Needed-one big Christmas miracle!
CAROL'S CHRISTMAS;
December 23, 1914, in a small coal mining town deep in the Canadian Rockies.
What changes can a faraway war bring to a tiny coal mining town, and the woman who's struggling to know herself?
Carol, with her two beautiful babies and the husband she adores, can't help but envy Julia, the mysterious woman next door, who seems to have no worries about money.
SNOW KISSED CHRISTMAS: 1903 IN A WESTERN COAL MINING TOWN.
Christmas Eve, snow, a new baby coming---and no money.
In the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Anna lives with her husband, William, and her two young children, Sophie, 7, and Thomas, 5.

The underground coal mine where William works isn't operating full time, and although they've made toys for Sophie and Thomas, Anna is frightened and sad, worried for her beloved family.
It's snowing hard, and the world feels bleak and joyless. 

IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE TO MAKE THIS STORMY Christmas MERRY.

Sometimes miracles can come in the most remarkable fashion.
And sometimes the angels that bring them are the most unlikely.
