Christmas is on its way. . . to the South Dakota plains in 1909, and Cara doesn't believe it'll be merry. Her oldest brother and sister can't be home for it, and her two little brothers are still missing. How can they find them after four years? Where could she possibly discover some Christmas hope and joy?
Cara treasures her father, Mick Muldoon, and her silly "indoor sister" Bridget, who forever rambles about anything. Yet Cara, the "outdoor sister," sorely lacks skills with other people - like Josie Holloway. That girl is a snooty enemy. If Josie were an animal, she'd be a spoiled Persian cat.
Featured in the Those Resilient Muldoons series bonus novella:

A lonely fifteen-year-old young woman who relates to critters better than people.
Her two missing little brothers, who no one has found.
A small, sleepy railroad town that learns the value of community power.

Celebrating Christmas is about much more than delightful packages and gifts - it's the perfect season for epiphanies of the heart.
