Search - A McKettrick Christmas

This short story revolves around Holt's oldest daughter. (The one he didn't meet until she was around 10 years old.) Lizzy is all grown up, done with her education and returning with her fiance to the McKettrick spread for Christmas to announce her engagement. During the ride, the train is derailed by an avalanche. You meet some interesting characters: a talking bird, a young mother and her children, a very ill soldier, a thoughtful peddler who turns out to be more than he appears to be, and a young doctor. Lizzy's fiance injures himself and she starts to have regrets about marrying him. In the meantime, she assists the young doctor in caring for the sick and injured, and the sparks soon fly.

This isn't a usual Linda Lael Miller book. There's not alot of passion and romance (usually her trademark). But, there are a couple of twists near the back of the book...one of which might help you get in the holiday spirit...and the warmth and family interactions of the McKettrick clan (from Grandpa Angus down to the smallest kiddies) during the Christmas season are always pleasant to read about.

This was my first time reading anything by this author, but I was not disappointed. It not only had romance, but a lot of "edge of your seat" action. A much different book than I was expecting. It was very heartwarming & a great book to read around the holidays. I would definitely recommend it.

I loved this book. I thought it was a heartwarming Christmas story about how when people are standed and away from home they find ways to make do with what they have and create wonderful memories and loving friendships. Wonderful end to the first McKettrick series.
Another winner by Linda Lael Miller.

I realy liked this book. The characters came to life for me.

A typical, feel-good, Linda Lael Miller story. Very enjoyable.

Love the book.
