Publisher's Synopsis
A woman with but one wish for Christmas: a good life with six children. A cowboy's desire for a good wife and several sons. Five orphan siblings who pray they will not be separated on the Orphan Train heading out west.
Lou Lou Lee never knew her mother. She lived in an orphanage until she was adopted, but the adoption was more of an enslavement with cruel people and a son who had evil intent for her. She agrees to become a mail-order bride and move to Oklahoma to see her dream come true.
Albert Forrest is the middle son of three who sent for a mail-order bride. His dream is to be a successful horse trainer and have a home filled with strong sons to help him run his ranch.
When parenthood doesn't seem to be God's will for the couple, Lou Lou makes a Christmas wish to receive the five orphaned children being sent to the Forrest Ranch by the matriarch's sister from New York City.
But when the children arrive, Albert's dream is crushed when they are four girls and one sickly infant boy. Can Lou Lou convince her husband that girls make good ranch helpers, especially since the oldest girl is terrified of barnyard animals and refuses to learn to ride a horse? Is there any hope for saving Lou Lou's Christmas Wish?
