Take me Home
by Tracey Bateman, a past president of American Christian Fiction Writers from Missouri.

One Wintry Night

Image of Love
by JoAnne A. Grote, a multi-published author from Minnesota.
Mantie Clark lives with her brother and his wife and is raising her deceased brother’s children. She doesn’t mind adding Lane Powell to the family’s Christmas circle as another brother, but after losing her first love to the War Between the States, she is not interested in a suitor. A moonlight ride starts to soften her resolve, but the risk of loving may be too great for her scarred heart.
The Christmas Necklace

When the great Chicago fire steals the lavish home Lucinda Porter once shared with her deceased husband, she takes employment in the country. Wrongly accused of theft and promptly displaced right before Christmas, she meets David Morgan during her homeless wanderings. Can he, a student of the law, help her find justice? Or are there things of more value they must discover together?
A Christmas Gift of Love
by Darlene Mindrup, a radical feminist turned radical Christian from Arizona.
Rose Johnson has lost the most important man in her life—her father. At age thirty-five, she is now along on the forlorn prairies of the Dakota Territory.

Circle of Blessings
by Deborah Raney, a Christy Award winning author from Kansas.
Stella Bradford has finally found the love of her life. It doesn’t matter to her that he is her English professor at the university or that he seems to be hiding something from his past. But convincing her father that James Collingwood is the man she should marry is going to be a daunting task.
