Romance lovers will find this pair of stories irresistible. Skilled authors Pamela M. Griffin and Maryn Langer take readers back to the days of slower-paced Christmas celebrations, where, on the Northern Plains, preparations for the holidays are not going as planned. Two Victorian women who lost their homes in the big city are appalled by their new homes on the open prairie. Ivy, who believes the little town's celebration is beneath her, is labeled a snob. Lucinda, meanwhile, is falsely accused of theft as she tries to establish a new home for herself. Can each woman find hope and love in their new lives?
