Christmas Story Bride

De: Eliza Hutchins

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Forced to leave rural Vermont after her small-town employer makes unwanted advances, putting her reputation at stake, orphan Eva Christianson decides to spend the holidays with a stranger who responds to her ad for a husband in The Matrimonial Times. Sheep rancher Gabe Morgen offers her the possibility of escaping her past and starting a new and very different life as a wife and stepmother to an eight-year-old daughter out West.

Eva jumps at the chance, then wavers, then finally goes forward to meet her destiny.

Although immediately smitten by Gabe when she meets him for the first time in Colorado, Eva finds the holiday spirit sorely lacking in the downtrodden town of Savior Falls. Once a thriving resort, the town’s stores have mostly closed, and its people appear dreary and demoralized.

Eva comes to find out why as what starts as a promising romance with handsome Gabe soon begins to lose its luster as the eager man she met through correspondence courtship withdraws his affection for some unknown reason, then takes an unexpected trip to Denver.

Inspired by a mysterious well on the property, Eva, a translationist by trade, pours her heart out into her dictationist’s notebook in the form of stories and diary entries until Gabe returns. Much to her horror, instead of being happy to see her, he sends her packing right before Christmas. Neither of them guesses that the saving grace they both seek — and the solution to their problems — sits under their very noses, right within their grasp.
