A New Life, a New Family... Can she find joy in her first Christmas on the frontier?

Oregon Territory, December 1850: Annie Hudson has braved the long, perilous journey across the continent to answer a mail-order bride advertisement from Isaac Wheeler. The rugged frontier is far more than she expected, but Annie is determined to carve out a new life as a wife.

However, the challenges have only begun. As she prepares for her first Christmas without the comforting presence of her beloved oldest sister, Annie must also navigate the unfamiliar responsibilities of being a new bride in a close-knit frontier town. The weight of her new husband's expectations and the pressures of her new community begin to mount.

Will Annie be able to meet the expectations of her new husband, her new community, while still being true to herself as her sister would have wanted?
