I look forward to meeting new characters, experiencing a new setting, and most of all, a new adventure. Set against the backdrop of the real history of Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee, Christmas at Carnton is a story of hope renewed and faith restored at Christmas. But orders are orders, and he soon discovers this group of ladies-one, in particular-is far more than he bargained for. Kowtowing to a bunch of "crinolines" isn't his idea of soldiering.

As he heals, Jake is ordered to assist with a local Women's Relief Society auction. When doctors deliver their diagnosis, Jake fears losing not only his greatest skill but his very identity. But can Aletta trust this man?Ĭaptain Jake Winston, a revered Confederate sharpshooter, suffered a head wound at the Battle of Chickamauga. Then a chance meeting with a wounded soldier offers another opportunity- and friendship. With the bank threatening to evict them, she discovers an advertisement for the Women's Relief Society auction and applies for a position-only to discover it's been filled. Recently widowed, Aletta Prescott struggles to hold life together for herself and her six-year old son.
