Synopsis

Join the women of Crooked Creek in a heartwarming tale of survival, hope, love, and maybe even a Christmas miracle. The war is over, though for some like Michael Donoghue, the four years of battles brought only death and misery. After returning home, he discovers his mother has passed and his sister is gone. With a bit of money and the help of a friend, Michael heads west in search of the only family he has left. Clara Stowe and her daughter left behind painful memories and a life of comfort to make a beginning out west. When existence on the frontier proves to be more challenging than she imagined, Clara seeks the help of people she’s come to love and a man who stirs within her an undeniable longing for a second chance. As the holiday season approaches, Michael and Clara must find the courage to let go of the past, survive the present, and embrace a future neither envisioned. Don’t miss this stand-alone western, romantic adventure novel in MK McClintock’s Crooked Creek series set in post-Civil War Montana Territory. "The four interconnected short stories will have powerful appeal to readers who like an author who can cut to the chase quickly, get to the meat of the story quickly, without a lot of fluff and padding. MK McClintock knows what readers want. A good collection of short stories." — Readers' Favorite on The Women of Crooked Creek
