A Family for Christmas by Birdie Stewart

Widower Frank Motherwell made it clear in his ad that he wanted a bride in name only. The sudden death of his beloved wife left his heart broken and shattered his faith in God. He isn’t looking for love, just a woman to act as a mother towards his children, and someone to help out on the farm.

As a poor orphan, there are few decent propositions for Holly, who has always wanted to be part of a family. When she sees Frank's ad for a mail order bride, she jumps at the chance. She understands that Frank doesn’t want love and is fine with it…until she arrives in Oregon to find a shell of a man and two children who look as lost as orphans. 

It may take a miracle to heal their wounded hearts, but Holly refuses to give up. This Christmas, she is determined to remind them of the greatest gift of all: family.
