A Kindness for Christmas

Confederate Widows, Spinsters, and Proxy Brides

De: Lynne Lanning

Narrado por: Spencer Dillehay

Jerry got caught up in a war he wanted no part of; one that left him paralyzed from the waist down on the day of Lee’s surrender. Now he stood the risk of losing his ranch if he wasn’t married by the deadline. But what woman wanted a man who may never walk again?

Leanne was left destitute as the war raged. Her hometown was now taken over by a wealthy criminal…and he had his sights set on her. She was given a choice…either marry this corrupt man, or she and her three friends would be forced into bondage as saloon girls. Not only did she desperately need a way to escape, but she had to take her friends with her.

Through and intense, dangerous scheme, the Lord answered her prayers but her chance at freedom came with a price…she had to become a proxy bride to a man who may never walk again.

The four Yankee hating women were temporarily relieved to find safety. But what will they do when they find out the man willing to rescue them is a decorated Union Officer? Can Leanne ever overcome her terrible memories of destruction, and strong hatred for Yankees, enough to live with this man, “til death do us part?”

Beautiful story!

Loved loved loved this story and all the characters. The narrator did a wonderful job with setting each character apart. Could not stop listening- it was short enough to take a break and allow myself the indulgence, only to find myself wishing the story was longer. Can’t wait for the next book!

Perfect Gift

There are not enough words to tell you how much I enjoyed, listening to A Kindness for Christmas. I first read the book and was blown away by the story. Now I’m reading, listening again to the story with an audiobook. If you are like me, I can read stories about Christmas all year long. The story introduces us to Leanne and Jerry, who are jjust wonderful people, not just characters in a book. They are brought together, first to help each other out of difficult situations, but their love grows and their willingness to help others through it all. The author, Lynne Lanning has shown us that with patience, trust, love, and your belief in God, you can do anything. I was given a copy of this audiobook by the author for an honest review and again I can’t say more than, this is one of the best books I’ve ever read and listen to. Thank you Lynne.
