Synopsis

Charles Barnett returned from the Civil War to his home in Kansas to find only the blackened remains of his home's stone hearth and a corner of the barn remaining. Beaten down by the war and discouraged by the winter cold and the empty landscape, he considered his options. High on the list was simply moving west and starting afresh. But childhood friends offered him the warmth of family, and there was the woman for whom he had always had a tender feeling, newly widowed, heavily pregnant, and as beautiful as ever. Perhaps this would be a Christmas to remember, after all.

Mary Sevenoaks' best friend was Robert Rogers, but she'd had her own tendre for Charles Barnett, who was her sister's age and, really, much too old for her. When Charles left for the war she willed herself to forget about him and married Robert, whom she also loved, if not in quite the same way.

Set in the period just after the Civil War, as soldiers were returning home, battered and broken, often to find their homes in ruins and nothing the same, the resilient human spirit shines through in this Christmas tale of salvation and redemption.
