With danger and redemption swirling around them, can a Christmas miracle be found in Virginia City?

Schoolteacher Joy Stewart has never been lucky. Her father died before she was born. Her mother left her in the care of her grandmother so that she could get remarried and move far away. So when her grandmother succumbs to illness, her debtors come to call. And one of them has his eyes set on Joy to be his bride as payment for his debt. That bad luck just seems to be compounding on Joy—what she needs is a Christmas Miracle, and her grandmother has put a plan in the works…

Marshal Jack Bolling has found himself in want of a nanny. With the death of his sister and her husband in a tragic accident, he has now come into possession of his twin niece and nephew of four years old. For over a month he’s had no luck in locating an appropriate nanny for them—at least not on his salary and what a marshal can afford. But then his good friend, Pastor North has the idea that perhaps Jack should be looking for a wife instead? The thought of that sends chills down Jack’s spine, but when he end’s up putting the twins’ lives in danger due to his job, he wonders what choice he has. But can he even dare to hope that he’d be lucky enough to find a wife so close to Christmastime?

virtual voice ok in a pinch

The virtual lacks real emotions and other nuances conveyed through inflection. better than expected but not as good as a real reader.

Great story

I loved the story, the narrator voice was very unfeeling. No emotion at all. That made such a tender story somewhat fade.
I might suggesting reading it yourself
Instead of this virtual reader.
