Once Upon A Christmas: a heartwarming Christmas romance in the West

Upon arriving on the rough Texas Frontier, with her two sons and a trunk full of dreams for a new life, widow Olivia Pritchett discovers the man she was to marry has died. The prospect of the long trip back from where she came, and causing her sons to spend Christmas traveling, is too painful to face. With all her strength, she prevails upon her fiancé's partner to allow her and her boys to see the place where they had pinned all their hopes, and to be able to spend at least Christmas at the ranch that was to be her home. <br /><br />Monroe Locket wants no part of a widow-woman mail-order bride, nor her snot-nosed boys. Yet, he can't manage to deny her, and nothing he does seems to daunt her. Olivia is one determined woman, who makes biscuits better than any two angels trying hard in heaven, and who manages to bring Christmas right along with her.<br /><br />With her unique blend of Southern humor and wise insight, bestselling women's fiction author, Curtiss Ann Matlock, once again gives us a delightful romance, and a break from the pressures of the holiday season, a space to lift our hearts, and to experience the joy beyond reason.
