An American Rose Christmas Anthology

Six touching stories from America's past spanning the Colonial era through the Civil War. My story, "The Gift," is set five years after the end of the American Civil War. All reformed prostitute Eva Baird wants for Christmas is to have her daughter back in her arms. But gun-toting outlaws, spiteful in-laws, and a sweet-talking stranger with arresting gray eyes threaten to turn her dream into a lump of coal.
