A Christmas Tale for Little Women — Linda Brooks Davis

Broadview is attired for Christmas. Gardland encircles the front pillars. Wreaths grace the doors. Candles glow in the windows. And bangles sparkle on the tree. Rather than travel to Europe or perform in a grand city or entertain dignitaries in her ballroom, Adelaide is hosting two dear young girls in Broadview. These youngsters declined a Colorado Christmas in lieu of spending the holiday with their Auntie Addie. Unmarried and childless, she must give these girls a Christmas like no other. Has she thought of everything? Has she accomplished enough? What would top off this Christmas in an extraordinary way? Adelaide's answer lies just on the other side of Rock Creek. What will it take for her to recognize it as the Christmas topper she's been seeking? It's 1912, and Adelaide Fitzgerald's view of Christmas is about to emerge as an enduring tale for a lifetime.
